Office  of  the  Mayor,| 
Chicago,  January  8,  1916.] 

To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council 

of  the  City  of  Chicago: 

Gentlemen — I  return  herewith, 
without  my  approval,  an  order 
passed  by  your  Honorable  Body  on 
December  30,  1915,  and  appearing 
on  page  2721  of  the  Journal  of  the 
Proceedings  of  the  City  Council  of 
that  date,  by  which  the  City  Comp- 
troller and  the  City  Treasurer  are 
directed  to  pay  to  E.  C.  Shankland 
the  sum  of  $7,000,  salary  as  Har- 
bor and  Subway  Commissioner  for 
the  period  commencing  June  1st 
and  ending  December  31,  1915. 

I  wiflihold  my  approval  of  said 
order  for  the  reason  that  I  am  ad- 
vised by  the  Commissioner  of  Pub- 
lic Works  tliat  the  said  E.  C.  Shank- 
land r-ntored  into  an  agreement  with 
the  Commissioner  of  Public  Works 
in  t.hn  presence  of  the  City  Comp- 
trnller  fo  romain  on  tln^  Harbor  and 
Subway  Commission  after  June  1. 
191  f),  willmuf.  fonipcnsation.  Had 
til'-  -;ii<l  K.  C.  Shank  land  not  agreed 


with  the  Commissioner  of  Public 
Works  to  serve  after  June  1,  1915, 
without  compensation  he  would  not 
have  been  permitted  to  remain  as  a 
Harbor  and  Subway  Commissioner, 
as  the  work  which  he  was  required 
to  supervise  had  progressed  to  a 
point  where  it  was  unnecessary  to 
continue  the  said  E.  C.  Sbankland 
or  anyone  else  at  a  salary  to  super- 
vise it. 

I,  therefore,  recommend  that  the 
vote  by  which  this  order  was  passed 
be  reconsidered  and  that  the  same 
be  placed  on  file. 

,  V,ery  truly  yours, 
(Signed)     Wm.  Hale  Thompson,

together  with  the  ordinance  sub-

To   the  Honorable,  the  Mayor  and 
the  City  Council: 

Gentlemen — Owing  to  a  ciondi- 
ti'on  which  has  arisen  by  reason  of 
an  opinion  recently  rendered  by  the 
Corporation  Counsel,  relative  to  the 
licensing  of  undertakers,  I  beg  to 
transmit  herewith,  an  amendment 
to  Section  1237  of  the  Revised  Mu- 
nicipal Code  and  would  ask  you,  if 
possible,  to  introduce  it  into  the  City 
Council  today  with  a  view  to  its 
passage  as  early  as  possible. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 
(Signed)      John  Dill  Robertson,

Dried   Garbage:  in  re  Contract  for 
Sale. 

also, 

The  following  communication, 
which  was  ordered  published  and 
referred  to  the  Committee  on  Fi- 
nance : 

Department  of   Health,") 
Chicago,  January  10,  1916.J 

To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council, 
City  of  Chicago: 

Dear  Sirs— On  December  30,  1915, 
page  2775  of  the  Council  Proceed- 
ings of  that  date,  your  Honorable 
Council  passed  an  order  "authoriz- 
ing tlic  Commissionor  of  Health  to 
enter  into  a  contract  for  the  disposal 
of  dried  garbage  under  Council  or- 
der of  November  15,  1915,  in  accord- 
ance with  his  recommendation  of 
December  10,  1915,  atlacluHl  hereto, 


in  substantially  the  form  hereto  at- 
tached." 

This  Council  order  is  misleading 
in  that  it  appears  from  the  reading 
of  it  that  the  Commissioner  of 
Health  had  recommended  the  sale 
of  the  garbage  for  $3.27  per  ton.  As 
a  matter  of  fact  your  Commissioner 
never  recommended  the  policy  of 
accepting  this  low  price.  His  com- 
munication called  for  an  order  to 
authorize  the  making  of  a  contract 
in  conformity  with  the  policy 
adopted  by  the  Committee  on  Fi- 
nance, which  policy  was  to  sell  the 
garbage  at  $3.27  per  ton.  Your 
Commissioner  of  Health  had  pointed 
out  a  way  to  save  approximately 
$12,000  per  month  for  the  city  by 
leasing  a  part  of  the  old  plant.  This 
plan  the  Committee  on  Finance  re- 
jiected.  The  result  is  that  we  are 
now  losing  $12,000  per  month  which 
could  have  been  saved  by  adopting 
a  different  policy  in  this  matter. 

Since  May,  1915,  the  Commis- 
sioner of  Health  has  been  trying  to 
make  arrangements  for  the  disposal 
of  commercially  dried  garbage  in  a 
manner  and  at  such  a  price  that  the 
City  would  not  be  forced  to  suffer  a 
financial  loss.  Bids  were  advertised 
for  and  received  on  four  different 
occasions  from  May  to  September, 
1915.  None  of  these  bids  was  ac- 
ceptable toi  your  Committee  on  Fi- 
nance. The  Commissioner  of  Health 
pointed  out  that  the  old  mill  house 
and  degreaser  plant  could  be  leased 
to  a  private  corporation  for  the  de- 
greasing  of  garbage  until  such  time 
when  the  new  mill  building  was 
.completed  and  the  City  in  a  position 
to  degrease  the  garbage.  Your  Com- 
mittee on  Finance  recommended 
and  your  Honorable  Council  passed 
an  order  authorizing  the  Commis- 
sioner of  Health  to  receive  bids^  on 
this  basis.  After  such  advertising  a 
bona  fide  bid  offering  to  pay  $6.00 
per  ton  for  the  garbage  and  a  rental 
of  $1,500  per  month  to  the  City  for 
the  use  of  the  old  mill  house  and 
degreaser  plant  was  received.  This 
bid  was  referred  to  the  Committee 


January  10,  1916. 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


2793 


on  Finance.    It  was  rejected  by  said 
Committee  in  September,  1915. 

At  that  time  the  price  'of  garbage 
grease  had  already  gone  up  and  the 
market  price  now  quoted  is  very 
high. 

Your  Honorable  Committee  on  Fi- 
nance, after  considering  all  of  the 
bids  received,  recommended  an  or- 
der which  was  referred  to  the  City 
Council  and  passed  on  November  15, 
1915,  Council  Proceedings,  page 
2771,  of  that  date,  as  follows: 

"Ordered,  That  the  Commissioner 
of  Health  be  and  is  hereby  author- 
ized and  directed  to  dispose  of,  with- 
out advertising,  dried  garbage  from 
.the  Municipal  Reduction  Plant  at 
not  less  than  $3.27  per  ton." 

This  order  did  not  specify  any 
length  of  time  for  which  the  con- 
tract was  to  be  entered  into,  nor  did 
it  definitely  authorize  the  making  of 
a  contract.  Therefore,  on  December 
10,  I  submitted  this  matter  again  to 
the  Committee  on  Finance,  together 
with  two  forms  of  contract,  and 
asked  "that  if  it  is  the  desire  of  your 
Committee  that  the  City  execute  this 
contract  at  a  rate  of  $3.27  per  ton 
for  a  period  ending  April  30,  1916,  I 
would  respectfully  recommend  that 
an  appropriate  order  be  passed." 

I  respectfully  submit  that  the 
policy  of  accepting  $3.27  per  ton  for 
commercially  dried  garbage  is  the 
policy  of  the  Committee  on  Finance 
and  not  that  of  the  Commissioner  of 
Health.  This  policy  will  have,  by 
May  1,  resulted  in  a  loss  of  $100,000 
to  the  City  of  Chicago. 

Respectfully, 
(Signed)     John  Dill  Robertson, 

Commissioner  of  Health.

mitted therewith,  referred  to  the 
Committee  on  Judiciary: 

Department  of  Law,| 
Chicago.  January  4.  1916.} 
To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council: 
Gentlemen — We  beg  to  call  your 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  terri- 
tory adjoining  what  was  formerly 
the  Village  of  Morgan  Park  and 
which  became  a  part  of  the  city  by 
the  act  of  the  Legislature  on  July 
1,  1915,  has  not  been  incorporated 
within  the  boundaries  of  any  ward 
of  the  city. 

Inasmuch    as    the    time    is    ap- 
proaching when  provision  must  be 
made   for   giving  the  residents  of 
that    territory    an    opportunity    to 
participate  in  the  forthcoming  mu- 
nicipal election,  it  becomes  the  duty 
of  the  City  Council  to  take  action  in 
the  matter.    The  territory  in  ques- 
tion    extends     into     the     present 
boundaries    of    the    Thirty-second 
Ward  in  such  a  way  that  it  would 
logically  belong  to  that  ward.    We 
have  therefore  drafted  an  ordinance 
defining    the    boundaries    of    the 
Thirty- second  Ward   so   as  to  in- 
clude this  territory,  and  submit  the 
same  for  your  consideration.    This 
was    done    solely    for    your    con- 
venience, and  not  as  a  recommenda- 
tion.   If  you  conclude  to  annex  the 
same  or  any  portion  of  same  to  the 
Ninth  Ward  instead  of  the  Thirty- 
seoond  Ward,  we  stand  ready  to  al- 
ter   the    ordinance    to    meet   your 
wishes. 

Yours  respectfully,

These  petitioners  are  owners  of  a 
majority  of  the  property  fronting  on 
that  part  of  South  Chicago  avenue 
that  will  be  affected  by  the  grades 
petitioned  for. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  the  District 
Engineer  of  the  Board  of  Local  Im- 
provements, under  whose  direction 
the  pavement  on  South  Chicago  ave- 
nue will  be  laid,  and  of  the  Bench 
and  Grade  Engineer,  both  having 
made  a  careful  survey  of  the  situa- 
tion, that  the  grades  petitioned  for 
are  best  suited  to  the  conditions  on 
and  adjacent  to  the  street.  Fov  this 
reason  I  have  caused  the  attached 
ordinance  for  the  establishment  of 
the  grades  petitioned  for  to  be  pre- 
pared and  submit  it  with  the  rec- 
ommendation that  it  be  passed.

The  motion  prevailed. 

The  following  is  the  communica- 
tion recommended  for  publication  in 
the  foregoing  report: 

Woman's  City  Club  of  Chicago,] 
Chicago,  December  29,  1915.] 

To  the  City  Council  of  Chicago: 

The  Committee  on  Housing  of  the 
Woman's  City  Club  of  Chicago  had 
brought  to  itsi  attention  in  the  spring 
of  1915  by  the  Sanitary  Bureau  of 
the  Health  Department  the  use,  by 
Mandel  Brothers,  of  a  sub-base- 
ment salesroom  in  violation  of  the 
law. 

At  the  same  time  Mr.  Kelly,  Su- 
perintendent of  Mandel  Brothers, 
asked  the  Committee  to  visit  the 
sub-basement  salesroom  to  investi- 
gate the  sanitary  arrangements  and 
the  precautions  taken  to  insure 
healthful  and  safe  condiQons  for  the 
employees  and  patrons. 

The  Committee,  in  addition  to 
visiting  the  sub-basement  sales- 
room, had  held  four  meetings  and 
has  heard  all  sides  of  the  question. 
Mr.  Kelly,  Superintendent  of  Man- 
del  Brothers,  Mr.  Ball,  Chief  Sani- 
tary Inspector,  Mr.  McDonell,  Chief 
of  the  Fire  Prevention  Bureau,  and 
Mr.  Harry  L.  Miller,  City  Attorney, 
representing  Mr.  Hornsitein  of  the 
Corporation  Counsel's  office,  have  all 
appeared  before  it. 

After  hearing  these  men  the  Com- 
mittee feels  that  it  has  an  intelli- 
gent understanding  of  the  situation 
and  feels  that  over  and  above  every 
other  consideration  there  stands  out 
one  vital  truth,  freely  admitted  by 
all,  namely,  that  the  sub-basement 
salesroom  was  built  in  full  knowl- 
edge of  all  concerned,  that  it  was  in 
direct  violation  of  the  building  ordi- 
nance. 

The  Committee  therefore  protests 


2821 


against  the  passage  of  the  pending 
amendment  to  the  building  ordi- 
nance (Pamphlet  486)  which  legal- 
izes this  violation  of  the  law. 

Approved  by  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors of  the  Woman's  City  Club  in 
regular  session,  Monday,  December 
13th. 

Endorsed  by  the  Housing  Com-

Club.

The  motion  prevailed. 

The  following  are  the  matters 
recommended  for  publication  in  the 
foregoing  report: 

Chicago,  December  16,  1915. 

Hon.    Willis    0.    Nance,    Chairman, 
Committee  on  Health: 

Dear  Sir — We,  the  undersigned 
members  of  the  subcommittee  ap- 
pointed to  consider  the  question  of 
the  installation  of  public  comfort 
stations  in  the  City  of  Chicago,  beg 
to  submit  the  following  report: 

The  subcommittee  was  divided 
into  three  sections  of  two  members 
each — one  section  to  make  a  study 
of  the  north  side  of  the  city,  one 
of  the  west  side  and  one  of  the 
south  side  of  the  city  for  the  pur- 
pose of  locating  and  recommending 
suitable  sites  for  the  installation  of 
public  comfort  stations  in  said  re- 


spective portions  of  the  city.  The 
said  several  committees  of  the  sub- 
committee reported  that  all  comfort 
stations,  outside  of  the  downtown 
district,  should  be  located  at  street 
car  intersections  on  the  thorough- 
fares of  greatest  travel. 

We  recommend  that  a  bond  issue 
of  half  a  million  dollars  be  recom- 
mended by  the  City  Council  for  sub- 
mission to  the  voters  for  the  instal- 
lation of  such  comfort  stations  as  in 
the  judgment  of  the  Department  of 
Health  should  be  installed. 

As  we  understand  it,  the  comfort 
stations  about  to  be  completed  in 
the  Chicago  Public  Library  are  to 
be  under  the  supervision  of  the  De- 
partment of  Health.  We  recom- 
mend that  all  stations  to  be  in- 
stalled in  the  city  be  under  the 
supervision  of  the  said  Department. 

We  further  reeommend  that  His 
Honor  the  Mayor,  be  requested  to 
appoint  a  commission  to  consist  of 
one  representative  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Public  Works,  one  repre- 
sentative of  the  Department  of 
Health  and  five  members  of  the 
City  Council  to  visit  the  large 
eastern  cities  for  the  purpose  of 
making  a  survey  of  their  comfort 
stations  with  a  view  to  gathering 
information  that  will  be  helpful  to 
the  City  of  Chicago  in  the  matter 
of  the  installation  and  operation  of 
public  comfoirt  stations. 

The  need  for  comfort  stations  in 
our  city  is  great  and  pressing  and 
we  recommend  that  the  subject  be 
handled  with  all  possible  diligence 
and  dispatch. 

Attached  hereto  are —

Alexander,  Assistant  Corporation 
Counsel;

partment of  Public  Welfare,  of

A    PLEA    FOR   COMFORT    STATIONS. 

Extract  from  Article  in  "The  Sur- 
vey"  April   5,    1913,   by  Rell   M. 
Woodward,  Surgeon  United  States 
Public  Health  Service: 
Travelers  from  almost  all  foreign 
countries  describe  the  public  con- 
venience stations  of  foreign  cities. 
In  London  there  are  many  places 
where    crooked    streets    converge, 
leaving  perhaps  an  irregular  open 
space  or  plaza.     These  are  not  all 
occupied  by  statues,  as  the  city  has 
attempted   to  provide   comfort  for 
the  living  as  well  as  honor  to  the 
dead.     Two  modest  iron  stairways 
with     suitable    signs    lead    to    two 
moms  below  the  ground,    one    for 
women,  the  other  for  men,  where 
toilets  and  urinals  are  found. 

Many  American  cities  have  pro- 
vided a  few  such  places,  for  instance 
in  parks,  and  some  of  these  are  ad- 
mirable in  conception  and  in  struc- 
ture; but  one  cannot  always  remain 
near  a  park,  and  in  winter  when  the 
kidneys  are  most  active  these  sta- 
tions are  often  closed.  One  of  the 
most  practical  stations  of  this  kind 
'that  I  have  seen  is  in  the  Boston 
Common.  It  is  underground  in  a 
small  hill,  with  a  wide  stairway 
leading  to  it. 

As  one  approaches  it  he  sees  that 
the  room  is  lighted  and  is  lined  with 
white  tiling.  There  are  urinals, 
closets,  washstands,  and  a  shoe- 
blacking  establishment.  It  has  the 
appearance  of  a  toilet  room  in  a 
hotel,  and  the  place  is  well  venti- 
lated and  kept  clean.  I  do  not  re- 
call how  it  is  heated,  but  such 
places  could  be  heated  with  steam 


from     adjacent     buildings    or    by 
stoves. 

Cities  must  of  course  consider  the 
economic  side  of  any  new  enter- 
prise. I  believe  that  such  stations, 
outside  of  the  cost  of  original  con- 
struction, could  ,be  made  almost  if 
not  quite  self-supporting,  in  the 
following  way:  Lease  the  shoe- 
blacking  privilege  to  an  individual 
for  a  good  round  fee,  said  indi- 
vidual to  be  subject  to  certain  rigid 
rules  and  regulations,  and  the  place 
to  be  subject  to  periodical  inspec- 
tions. The  lessee  should  be  required 
to  keep  the  place  in  perfect  sanitary 
condition.  In  addition  to  his  income 
from  blacking  shoes  the  lessee 
might. be  allowed  to  rent  a  few 
closets,  ordinarily  kept  locked,  and 
charge  a  small  prescribed  fee.  If 
the  patronage  of  the  station  in  Bos- 
ton Common  is  a  criterion  it  would 
seem  to  me  that  the  city  could  de- 
mand a  fee  from  the  lessee  that 
would  cover  all  ordinary  running 
expenses. 

A  woman  attendant  in  the  ladies' 
station,  could  be  allowed  the  privi- 
lege of  renting  closets,  and  could 
also  be  provided  with  pins,  buttons, 
and  other  necessaries  such  as  are 
kept  in  the  ladies'  waiting  rooms  at 
department  stores. 

As  a  public  health  measure  the 
subject  must  be  considered  from 
two  standpoints,  the  health  of  the 
individual,  and  the  health  of  the 
community. 

Physiology  teaches  us  that  the 
normal  adult  bladder,  when  fully 
distended,  holds  twenty  ounces,  but 
that  a  discomfort  begins  when  it 
contains  more  than  four  ounces.  As 
one  advances  in  years  prolonged  re- 
tention of  urine  causes  ammoniacal 
decomposition,  with  consequent  ir- 
ritation of  the  bladder.  If  the  re- 
tention is  frequent,  disease  of  the 
kidneys  must  follow. 

At  present  in  most  American 
cities  there  are  few  convenience 
stations  available  to  the  public  out- 
side of  hotels  and  saloons.  In  nearly

all  hotels  one  finds  a  sign  stating 
that  the  toilet  facilities  are  for  the 
exclusive  use  of  the  guests.  This 
makes  a  stranger  feel  unwelcome. 

Saloons  are  open  to  the  public* 
but  one  dislikes  to  make  use  of  the 
J  sanitary  privileges  offered  without 
|i  purchasing  something.  To  a  man 
of  mature  age,  who  is  perhaps  in 
the  habit  of  taking  an  occasional 
drink,  this  phase  of  the  subject  has 
little  importance;  but  for  a  young 
man  in  a  strange  city,  driven  for 
lack  of  comfort  stations  into  a  sa- 
loon the  question  assumes  a  moral 
side.  The  only  way  to  avoid  the 
saloon  is  to  make  use  of  an  alley  or 
other  dark  place,  thereby  breaking 
a  city  ordinance  and  creating  a  nui- 
i&ance  which  gives  the  offense  a 
public  health  aspect.  The  frequency 
with  which  this  is  done  is  evi- 
denced by  the  familiar  sign  "Com- 
mit No  Nuisance".  In  London  I  saw 
a  sign  that  to  my  mind  was  much 
less  objectionable  and  equally  ef- 
fective; it  read  simply  "Decency 
Forbids". 

The  establishment  of  comfort 
stations  at  convenient  points  would 
I  think  contribute  greatly  to  public 
health.

Aid.  Geiger  (presented  the  follow- 
ing resolution,  which  w.as  ordered 
publisihed  and  referred  to  the  Com- 
mittee on  Railway  Terminals: 

Whereas,    There  is  a  constantly 
increasing   congestion    of   traffic   in 
the  district  bounded  by  Lake  Michi- 
gan, the  Chicago  River,  the   South 
Branch  thereof  and  Twenty-second 
street  which  interrupts  and  delays 
surface    street    car    transportation; 
prevents  a  rapid  and  economical  de- 
livery  of   freight  from  railroad   to 
commercial   stores   and  warehou&es 
and    vice    versa;     interferes    with 
pedestrian  travel   along  the  streets 
of  the  district  and  prevents  the  ade- 
quate and  logical  improvement  and 
development  of  real   estate  therem 
and  causes  the  loss  of  immense  m- 
come  and  revenue  to  the  property- 
owners,  commercial  interests,  rail- 
roads and  the  City  of  Chicago,  and 
Whereas,  This  congestion  in  this 
district   is    principally   due    to    the 
g>.resent    location    of    the    railroad 
'  freight  and  passenger  terminals  and 
the      physical       contraction       and 
strangulation  of  the  district  by  rea- 
son of  the  ill  considered,  impracti- 
cal,   unscientific    treatment   of    the 
passenger     and     freight     termmal 
situation  by  ithe  railroad  interests 
themselves,  and 

Whereas,  No  relief  from  a 
crowded,  overgrown  and  choked 
physical  condition  of  the  district 
can  be  obtained  nor  expected  until 
one  or  more  of  the  great  railroad 
systems  proceed  to  relocate  ter- 
minals in  consonance  with  modern 
advanced  terminal  methods  and 
scientific  and  logically  considered 
plans  having  reference  to  the  City's

to  the  obvious  necessity  and  desir- 
ability of  consolidating  South  Side 
terminals  land  removing  as  many  ob- 
stacles as  practicable  from  the  en- 
trance or  throat  of  the  City's  down- 
town district;  and 

Whereas,  The  agreement  be- 
tween the  Illinois  Central  Railroad

missioners provides  for  the  re-loca- 
tion, rebuilding  and  complete  re- 
habilitation of  the  Chicago  passen- 
ger terminals  of  that  company;  and 

Whereas,  The  question  of  elec- 
trification and  other  terminal  de- 
velopment incident  thereto  is  in^ 
volved;  and 

Whereas,  This  Council  has  here- 
tofore created  the  Railway  Terminal 
Commission  to  solve  terminal  prob- 
lems from  a  practical  and  scientific 
viewpoint  and  assist  the  Railroad 
Terminal  Committee  of  this  Coun- 
cil by  its  researches,  plans  and  ad- 
vice with  the  ultimate  object  of 
treating  the  whole  railroad  terminal 
situation  in  Chicago  as  a  concrete 
whole  and  the  work  of  said  Com- 
mission has  been  of  distinct  value 
to  this  Council  and  its  Committees 
and  said  Commission  has  given 
elaborate  and  comprehensive  study 
to  the  subject  of  the  Railroad  ter- 
minals here  and  in  other  cities  of 
the  country  and  abroad;  now, 

Therefore,  Be  it  resolved  that  the 
Railway  Terminal  Committee  of  the 
Council  proceed  to  take  up  directly 
and  through  the  Railroad  Terminal 
Commission  the  entire  question  of 
the  relocation  of  the  terminal  of  the 
Illinois  Central  Railroad  Company 
with  the  ofiicials  of  that  company

pose of  said  ordinances  being  to

City  a  comprehensive  plan  tending 


to  give   it  the  largest  measure  of 
benefit.

The  following  veto  message : 

Office  of  the  Mayor, | 
Chicago,  January  19,  1916.| 
To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council: 
Gentlemen — I  return  herewith 
without  my  approval  an  ordinance 
passied  by  your  Honorable  Body 
January  10,  vacating  parts  of  Bross 
avenue  and  iparts  of  certain  alleys, 
for  the  reason  set  forth  in  the  at- 
tached com  muni  cation  from  the 
Commissioner  of  Public  Works. 

Yours  respectfully, 
(Signed)     Wm.  Hale  Thompson, 

Mayor, 

The  following  communication  was 
submitted  with  said  veto  message: 

Department  of  Public  Works,] 

Commissioner's  Office,  j^ 

Chicago,  January  17,  191 6.J 

Eon.      William     Hale     Thompson, 
Mayor: 

Dear  Sir — The  following  is  a  copy 
of  a  letter  received  by  me  today  from 
Mr.  N.  F.  Murray,  Superintendent  of 
Sidew^alks,  Board  of  Local  Improve- 
ments!: 

At  the  meeting  of  the  City 
Council  on  January  10,  an  ordi- 
nance was)  passed  (see  page  2859 
of  Journal,  left-hand  column), 
vacating  parts  of  Bross  avenue 
and  parts  of  certain  alley. 

There  is  a  matter  in  conTiection 
with  the  physical  layout  of  this 
locality,  which  I  believe  your  at- 
tention should  be  called  to. 

On  September  3,  1869,  prior  to 
annexation  by  the  City,  the  au- 
thorities' of  the  town  of  Cicero 
vacated  the  wesi  20  feet  of 
Western  avenue  from  the  Illinois 
and  Miohigian  Canal  south.  The 
west  V'2  of  Western  avenue,  as 
originally  platted,  was-  open  60 
feet  from  the  section  line.     This 


January     19,    1916. 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


5883 


vacation  ordinance  was  recorded 
June  14,  1878,  page  285,  Cicero 
Records. 

On  June  25,  1888,  this  ordinance 
was  reipealed,  the  repealing  or- 
dinance being  recorded  March  23, 
1892,  Documeint  No.  1632086. 

In  the  meantime,  parts  of  this 
20-foot  strip  had  been  built  on 
by  prop'erty  owners  having  lots 
fronting  on  same,  and  on  July 
15,  1915,  the  City  Council  passed 
an  ordinance  establishing  the  west 
line  of  Western  avenue  at  40  feet 
west  of  the  section  line. 

The  entire  occupation  of  Block 
32  seems  to  bave  been  moved 
eastward,  land  as  a  res(ult,  ithe  east 
line  of  Artesian  avenue,  whioh 
is  the  west  boundary  line  of  Block 
32,  as  occupied  between  the  north 
line  O'f  341th  istreet  and  the  alley 
fiDst  south  of  Bross  avenu'e,  is 
16  feet  3  inches  east  of  the  east 
istreet  line  as  platted,  making  Ar- 
tesian avenue  about  82  feet  3 
inches  wide  on  the  ground. 

The  owners  ^of  ithis  frontage, 
whioh  is  occupied  by  dwellings, 
have  all  constructed  their  cement 
sidewalks  along  the  east  line  of 
occupation,  and  in  order  to  con- 
tinue this  walk  to  the  cement 
isiidewalk  now  icons tructed  on  Bross 
avenue,  it  will  be  necessary  toi 
jog  it  16  feet  3  inches  to  the 
west,  unless  16  feet  3  inches  is 
taken  off  the  westerly  end  of  Lots 
8  to  13,  both  inclusive.  Subdivi- 
sion of  that  part  north  of  the  al- 
ley of  Block  32,  in  S.  J.  Walker's 
Subdivision,  owned  by  the  Cole 
Manufacturing  Company,  which  I 
have  marked  in  yellow  on  the 
accomipanying  white  print,  show- 
ing the  property  vacated  under 
the  ordinanoe  of  January  10,  1916. 
I  am  reiporlting  this  to  you  so 
that  you  may  be  advised  of  con- 
ditions before  the  ordinance  in 
question  Anally  becomes  effective. 
In  view  of  the  facts  as  above  re- 
ported by  Mr.  Murray,  I  recommend 
a  veto  of  the  ordinance  in  question, 


re-referring  the  matter  to  the  Com- 
mittee on  Local  Industries  for  fur- 
ther consideration. 

Yours  very  truly, 
(Signed)  W.   R.   Moorhouse, 

Commissioner  of  Public  Works. 

Aid.  Healy  moved  to  reconsider 
the  vote  by  which  said  ordinance, 
vetoed  by  His  Honor  the  Mayor,  was 
paisised. 

The  motion  prevailed. 

Aid,  Healy  moved  to  recommit 
said  ordinance  to  the  Committee  on 
Local  Industries. 

The  motion  iprevailed.

CITY  COMPTROLLER. 


City  Depositaries:  Approval  of  New 
Bonds. 

The  Clerk  presented  the  following 
communication  submitted  by  tho 
City  Comptroller: 

Department  op  Finance. | 
Chicago,  January  19^  1916.] 

To  the  Honorable,  the  Mayor  o;nd 
Aldermen,  in  City  Council  Asr- 
sembled: 

Gentlemen — Under  an  ordinance 
passed  by  your  Honorable  Body  on 
December  30,  1915,  the  City  Comp- 
troller was  authorized  to  accept  the 
bids  of  certain  banks  for  interest  on 
City  funds  and  the  said  banks  were 
designated  as  depositaries  for  City 
funds  subject  to  the  conditions 
named  in  said  ordinance.  The  bonds 
of  the  said  banks  as  depositaries 
were  also  approved  on  the  same 
date  by  the  City  Council. 

After  the  passage  of  the  said  or- 
dinance, I  was  advised  by  the  Corp- 
oration Counsel  that,  inasmuch  as 
there  had  been  a  change  in  the  con- 
dition under  which  the  bids  of  these 
depositaries  were  submitted  and 
under  which  they  had  obligated 
themselves  by  the  said  bonds,  it  was 
advisable  for  me  to  call  for  an  ac- 
ceptance of  the  new  condition  and 
to  require  them  to  present  new 
bonds  in  accordance  therewith. 

Acting  on  this  advice,  I  have  se- 
cured such  acceptances  from  all  of 
the  depositaries  so  named  by  your 
Honorable  Body,  and  I  have  also  se- 
cured new  bonds  'embodying  the  ad- 
ditional condition  included  in  said 


ordinance  from  nearly  all  of  said^ 
depositaries,  which  I  submit  here-' 
with  for  your  approval.  Several  of 
these  new  bonds  have  not  yet  been 
presented  to  me  owing  to  the  ab- 
sence of  persons  whose  signatures 
are  necessary,  but  I  am  informed 
that  they  will  be  turned  in  to  me  as 
soon  as  they  can  be  properly  exe- 
cuted, at  which  time  I  will  submit 
suich  additional  bonds  for  your  ap- 
proval. 

The  bonds  of  the  depositaries 
named  in  the  draft  of  the  ordinance 
which  accompanies  this  letter  have 
been  approved  as  to  form  by  the 
Corporation  Counsel  and  the  suf- 
ficiency of  same  and  the  responsi- 
bility of  the  sureties  has  been  passed 
upon,  and  I  therefore  recommend 
the  passage  of  the  ordinance  ap- 
proving same,  submitted  herewith. 

Yours  respectfully, 

(Signed)  Eugene  R.  Pike, 

Comptroller. 

Unanimous  consent  was  given  for 
consideration  of  the  ordinance  sub- 
mitted with  the  foregoing  commu- 
nication.

Department  of  Gas  and 
Electricity, 
Chicago.  January  15,  1916. 

To  the  Honorable,  the  Mayor  and 
City  Council,  City  of  Chicago: 
Gentlemen — Th^  franchises  of 
tlie  Chicago  Telephone  Company  and 
the  Commonwealth  Edison  Company 
contain  a  provision  under  which 
they  are  obligated  to  furnish  the 
City  with  the  use  of  the  top  cross 
armis  on  their  pole  lines.  Under 
the  authority  of  this  proviision  the 
City  has  wires  insltalled  on  the  poles 
of  these  public  utility  companies  in 
many  locations  throughout  the  city. 

In  case®  where  the  companies  in- 
stall the  service  underground  or 
make  some  change  therein,  they 
vacate  these  poles.  It  frequently  oc- 
curs that  the  City  is  (then  the  only 
occupant  of  the  poles,  and  there  are 
instances  on  record  where  we  have 
held  these  pole  lines  many  years 
after  ithey  were  vacated  by  the 
original  owners. 

The  companies  object  to  being 
held  responsible  for  the  proper 
maintenance  of  these  poles  for  long 
periods  of  time  after  they  have  no 
further  use  for  same,  and  we  have 
been  reauested  in  many  instances  to 
assume  ownership,  thus  relieving 
(the  companies  from  any  further 
responsibility. 

Considerable  correspondence  has 
passed  between  this  department,  the 
Telephone  Company  and  the  Corpo- 
ration Counsel's  office  regarding 
transfer  of  isuch  poles  or  pole  lines 
to  the  City,  and  I  enclose  herewith 
draft  of  proposed  form  of  ordinance 
which  will  allow  ithis  department  to 
assumie  ownership  of  such  pole  lines 
a's  may  be  deemed  to  be  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  City  of  Chicago.  A 
special  bill  of  sale  form  to  be  used 
in  the  transfer  of  each  individual 
line  of  poles  has  been  presented  by 
the  company  and  has  been  approved 
as  ito  form  by  the  Corporation  Coun- 
sel. A  copy  of  same  is  lenclosed 
herewith.    The  amount  involved  in 


each   instance   is  rarely  more  than 
$1.00. 

I  would  respectfully  requieist  that 
this  ordinance,  which  was  prepared

DEPARTMENT  OF  POLICE. 

Fenders  on  Motor  Trucks:    Non- 
Enforcement  of  Ordinance. 

The  Clerk  presented  the  following 
communication  submitted  by  the 
General  Superintendent  of  Police : 

Office  of  the  General  Superin-1 
tendent  of  Police, 
Chicago,  January  19,  1916. 

To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council: 
Gentlemenj — In  answer  to  your 
request  of  January  10,  1916,  for  a 
report  as  to  why  I  have  not  given 
effect  to  the  ordinance  requiring 
fenders  to  be  placed  on  auto  cars 
or  trucks.  I  beg  to  say: 

1.     In  your  order  requesting  this 


information  you  assume  that  this 
ordinance  makes  "it  unlawful  to 
use  within  the  City  Limits  any  auto 
truck  without  a  fender."  By  ref- 
erence to  the  ordinance  you  will 
find  this  is  not  a  correct  statement 
of  what  it  provides.  The  language 
used  is: 

"It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any 
person,  firm  or  corporation  to 
use  and  operate  within  the  City 
of  Chicago  any  auto  car  or  truck 
for  the  purpose  of  conveying 
therein  bundles,  parcels,  baggage 
or  wares,  merchandise  or  other 
similar  articles,  unless  such  auto 
car  or  truck  is  provided  with  a 
fender,"  etc. 

Thus  you  will  see  that  the  ordi- 
nance applies  not  only  to  auto 
trucks,  but  to  auto  cars;  and  it 
seems  to  me  that,  if  valid,  it  would 
require  all  automobiles  which  are 
used  "for  the  purpose  of  conveying 
therein  bundles,  parcels,  baggage  or 
wares,"  etc.,  to  have  fenders,  which 
would  seem  to  include  taxicabs  and 
private  cars  in  which  "bundles, 
parcels,  baggage  or  wares"  are  in 
any  way  conveyed. 

2.  The  "Clerical,  Mechanical  and 
Inspection  Bureau  of  the  Depart- 
ment" is  by  the  ordinance  required 
to  make  tests  and  pass  upon  the 
design  of  fenders;  but  the  ordinance 
requires  that  the  fenders  "shall  be 
approved  as  efficient  by  the  General 
Superintendent  of  Police." 

I  am  obliged  to  say  that  I  am 
not  satisfied  that  any  of  the  fenders 
so  far  presented  are  efiicient. 

3.  Furthermore,  the  bureau 
above  referred  to  has  passed  only 
on  the  designs  of  these  fenders  as 
applied  to  certain  trucks;  it  has  not 
passed  on  their  design  as  applied 
to  auto  cars,  also  specified  in  the 
ordinance,  which  are  used  to  con- 
vey bundles,  parcels,  baggage,  etc. 

4.  The  Corporation  Counsel  has 
advised  me  that,  in  his  opinion,  this 
ordinance  is  invalid  and  cannot  be 
enforced. 

There  is  now  pending  in  the  Cir- 


January    19,    1916. 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


2893 


cuit  Court  a  case  in  which  the 
court  will  decide  whether  the  ordi- 
nance is  valid  or  invalid.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  that  case  will  be  de- 
cided in  that  court  in  about  two 
weeks. 

5.  If  I  should  attempt  to  enforce 
the  ordinance  now  the  result  would 
probably  be  that  a  few  people,  who 
cannot  afford  the  expense  of  litiga- 
tion, would  obey,  but  the  great 
majority— and  especially  those  most 
sought  to  be  regulated— would  re- 
fuse to  do  so  and  take  the  matter 
into  court,  so  that  no  progress 
would  be  made  by  trying  to  enforce 
the  ordinance  before  the  court  has 
passed  on  its  validity. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
(Signed)  G.  C.  Healey, 

General  Superintendent. 

Aid.  Kerner  thereupon  presented

Ashes     and     Miscellaneous     Waste: 

Problem  of  Disposal  on  North 

and  Northwest  Sides. 

also. 

The  following  communication, 
which  was  referred  to  the  Com- 
mittee on  Finance: 

Department  of  Public  Works,] 

Commissioner's  Office}- 

Chicago,  January  18,  1916.J 

To   the  Honorable,   the  Mayor  and 

City  Council: 

Gentlemen — I  desire  to  call  your 
attention  to  a  serious  situation 
which  ^will  shortly  confront  the 
City  in  relation  to  the  disposal  of 
ashes  and  miscellaneous  wastes 
produced  by  all  the  north  and 
northwest  side  wards. 

At  present  these  wastes,  as  well 
as  the  rubbish  hauled  by  street  car 
trains  from  the  loading  station  at 
15th  place  and  Loomis  street,  are 
taken  care  of  by  the  clay  hole  dump 
at  Grace  and  Byron  streets,  owned 
by  the  Illinois  Brick  Company. 

Careful  estimates  show  that  this 
dump  will  be  filled  by  August  1, 
1916.  Where  and  in  what  manner 
the  city  is  to  provide  for  the  dis- 
posal of  these  wastes  after  that 
time  is  a  problem  that  must  be 
solved   without   further   delay. 

On  July  24,  1915,  the  Commis- 
sioner of  Health  addressed  a  letter 
to  me,  suggesting  the  appointment 
of  an  advisory  board  to  the  tech- 
nical staff,  municipal  wastes,  with 
the  request  that  if  the  plan  met 
with  my  approval  I  authorize  and 
notify  certain  employes  of  the  De- 
partment of  Public  Works  to  act. 

Having  complied  with  the  request 


of  the  Commissioner  of  Health,  the 
board  was  organized  for  the  pur- 
pose of  studying  the  question  and 
to  make  a  report,  with  recommen- 
dations. The  report  of  this  board 
was  sent  to  the  Committee  on  Fi- 
nance, of  the  City  Council  of  the 
City  of  Chicago,  October  20,  1915. 
A  copy  of  this  report  is  attached 
herewith. 

An  early  solution  of  the  problem 
is  so  imperative  that  I  feel  called 
upon  to  respectfully  urge  that  such 
prompt  action  be  taken  by  your 
Honorable  Body  as  will  provide  re- 
lief in  ample  time. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 
(Signed)  W.  R.  Moorhouse, 

Commissioner  of  Public  Works.

Whereas,  The  City  of  Chicago 
ojDtained  at  the  annual  tax  sale  of 
1914,  certain  tax  certificates  on 
property  sold  to  the  city  in  default 
of  other  bidders  for  delinquent 
special  assessments,  and  from  the 
analysis  of  said  certificates  made 
by  the  City  Comptroller,  it  appears 
that  many  certificates  are  for  very 
small  amounts,  and  in  numerous 
cases  the  certificates  are  against 
properties  on  which  the  city  here- 
tofore has  obtained  tax  deeds:

The  following  is  said  resolution 
as  adopted : 

Whereas,  While  the  law  does  not 
give  to  the  City  of  Chicago  the 
power  to  require  owners  of  prop- 
erty in  the  city  to  remove  snow  and 
ice  from  the  sidewalks  in  front  of 
their  respective  pieces  of  property, 
the  City  Council  has  upon  several

ing the  removal  of  snow  and  ice 
from  the  sidewalks  of  the  city,  and 
recently  adopted  a  resolution  re- 
questing His  Honor,  the  Mayor,  to 
issue  a  proclamation  urging  the 
owners  of  property  in  the  city  to 
remove  the  snow  and  ice  from  the 
sidewalks  in  front  of  their  prop- 
erty as  a  matter  of  civic  pride  and 
public  safety;  and 

Whereas,  The  position  of  the 
City  Government  in  the  premises 
would  appear  more  consistent  and 
its  request  shown  more  heed  and 
respect  if  the  City  of  Chicago  set 
the  example  of  having  the  snow 
and  ice  removed  from  the  sidewalks 
in  front  of  property  owned  or  oc- 
cupied by  it;  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  the  heads  of  all 
Departments  of  the  City  Govern- 
ment having  control  or  jurisdiction 
over  property  owned  or  occupied  by 
the  City  of  Chicago  be  and  they

REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES.

Chicago,  January  19,  1916. 
To  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen  of  the 
City  of  Chicago   in  City  Council 
Assembled: 

The  uindersigned',  a  minority  of 
your  Committee  on  Buildings  and 
City  Hall,  to  whom  was  recom- 
mitted (December  30,  1915,  page 
2784)  an  ordinance  to  permit  the 
use  of  motion-picture  machines 
designed  for  use  with  a  slow-burn- 
ing type  of  film,  having  had  the 
same  under  advisement,  beg  leave 
to  report  and  recommend  the  pas- 
sage of  the  substitute  ordinance 
herewith  submitted  [ordinance 
printed  in  Pamphlet  No.  515]. 

The  said  substitute  ordinance 
permits  the  use  of  specially  con- 
structed machines  designed  for  use 
with  non-inflammable  or  slow- 
burning  films  in  schools  and 
churches  for  educational  and  re- 
ligious purposes  only. 

The  passage  of  said  ordinance  is 
urged  by  clergymen  and  educators 
who  feel  that  it  would  greatly  as- 
sist them  in  their  work. 

The  Chicago  Board  of  Fire  Un- 
derwriters, the  Department  of  Gas 
and  Electricity  and  the  Chief  of 
Fire  Prevention  and  Public  Safety 
have  advised  your  committee  that 
it  would  not  be  unsafe  to  permit 
the  use  of  such  machines,  as  the 
films  to  be  used  in  them  will  not 
explode  and  will  not  burn  more 
rapidly  than  a  like  amount  of  ord- 
inary paper. 

The  use  of  these  machines  in 
schools  and  churches  is  permitted 
in  many  of  the  large  cities  of  this 
country  and,  so  far  as  your  com- 
mittee is  advised,  no  accidents  have 
resulted  therefrom.

based  our  findings  upon  the  law 
and  the  evidence  *  *  *  we  take 
this  method  of  calling  to  the  public 
attention  the  influences  which  have 
been  wielded  in  Ptacek's  behalf. 

"Such  aldermen  as  *  *  *  Otto 
Kerner  have  tried  to  bias  our  ver- 
dicts." 

The  members  of  the  Civil  Service 
Commission,  following  their  custom, 
refused  to  appear  before  your  com- 
mittee when  the  investigation  took 
place.  They  were  invited  three 
times  and  then  Alderman  Kerner 
was  asked  to  make  a  statement. 

He  testified  that  he  had  at  no 
time  visited  the  present  Civil  Serv- 
ice Commission;  that  he  had  neither 
orally  nor  in  writing,  directly  nor 
indirectly  communicated  with  the 
Civil  Service  Commission  or  any  of 
its  members  or  employees  concern- 
ing the  case  of  Captain  Ptacek. 

In  view  of  the  refusal  of  the 
Civil  Service  Commission  ot  any  of 
its  members  to  appear  in  support 
of  the  accusation  against  Alderman 
Kerner,   the   only  testimony  before

the  committee  was  Alderman  Ker- 
ner's  denial. 

Your  committee  is  convinced  of 
the  truth  of  Alderman  Kerner's 
statement  and  is  convinced  that  the' 
published  accusation  of  the  Civil 
Service  Commission  against  him  is 
la  malicious  falsehood  and  a  base 
and  cowardly  attack  upon  a  mem- 
ber of  the  City  Council  whose  in- 
tegrity, honor  and  high  standard  of 
ethics  is  not  to  be  lightly  assailed. 

Therefore,  your  committee  rec- 
ommends that  the  City  Council 
by  its  approval  of  this  committee 
report,  express  its  confidence  in  the 
integrity  of  Otto  Kerner,  alderman 
from  the  Twelfth  Ward,  denounce 
the  published  accusation  against 
him  by  the  Civil  Service^  Commis- 
sion as  a  maliciously  false,  unwar- 
ranted and  cowardly  attack  upon 
his  good  name  and  reprimand  the 
Civil  Service  Commission  for  its 
action  in  thus  slandering  a  member 
of  the  City  Council. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Aid.  Bauler  presented  the  follow- 
ing resolution,  which  was,  on  mo-

Whereas,  The  report  of  the  Po- 
lice Department  and  the  number  of 
arrests  of  intoxicated  chauffeurs 
show  an  alarming  increase  of  acci- 
dents caused  by  such  reckless  and 
drunken  chauffeurs;  and 

Whereas,  The  present  penalty  as 
provided  by  the  City  Ordinances  is 
wholly  inadetiuate  to  mete  out  prop- 
er punishment  to  such  persons; 
and 

Whereas,  It  is  the  opinion  of 
the  Corporation  Counsel  that  the 
City  Council  is  without  authority 
to  pass  an  ordinance  for  the  im- 
prisonment of  such  offenders  and 
it  is  necessary  to  obtain  the  passage 
of  a  bill  by  the  legislature  author- 
izing the  City  Council  to  enact  such 
an  ordinance;  and  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of 
the  City  Council  that  such  legisla- 
tion is  vitally  necessary  to  properly 
regulate  and  punish  persons  driving 
or  operating  automobiles  while  in 
an  intoxicated  condition;  and 

Be  it  ordered,  That  the  Corpora- 
tion Counsel  prepare  the  necessary 
bill  to  be  presented  for  passage  by 
the  General  Assenibly  for  the  im- 
prisonment of  such  offenders;  and 
be  it  further 

Resolved,  That  the  Mayor  appoint 
a  Committee  of  three  Aldermen  to 
confer  with  His  Honor,  Governor 
Dunne,  relative  to  the  inquiry  of 
the  passage  of  such  legislation,  and 
urge  upon  His  Honor,  the  Gover- 
nor, to  include  such  legislation  in 
his  call  for  the  adjourned  special 
session  of  the  legislature  to  be  held 
in  February,  1916,  or  at  sucli  other

its  railway  tracks  within  the  City 
of  Chicago. 

Be  it  ordained  by  the  City  Council 
of  the  City  of  Chicago: 

Section  1.  That  the  Illinois  Cen- 
tral Railroad  Company  is  hereby 
authorized  and  permitted  to  elevate 
the  plane  of  its  roadbed  and  tracks 
within  the  limits  of  the  City  of 
Chicago,  in  the  manner  and  upon 
the  conditions  hereinafter  specified, 
that  is  to  say: 

Paragraph  i.  The  Illinois  Central 
Railroad  Company  shall  elevate  its 
roadbed  and  tracks  across  South  Cal- 
ifornia avenue  between  the  Drainage 
Canal  and  the  Illinois  and  Michigan 
Canal,  and  construct  a  subway  be- 
neath its  tracks  in  accordance  with 
the  schedule  of  dimensions  and  ele- 
vations for  a  subway  described  in 
Section  4  of  this  ordinance. 

Paragraph  2.  The  railroad  com- 
pany hereinbefore  mentioned  is 
hereby  authorized  to  make  such 
changes  in  the  position  and  align- 
ment of  its  tracks  as  may  be  ren- 
dered necessary  by  the  carrying  out 
of  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance, 
and  said  railroad  company  is  hereby 
authorized  and  required  to  con- 
struct elevated  embankments  on  the 
right  of  way  occupied  by  it. 

Section  2.  The  embankments,  o^ 
other  structures  on  which  said 
tracks  shall  be  elevated  and  con- 
structed within  the  aforesaid  limits, 
shall  be  composed  of  any  material 
that  is  of  a  permanent  character  and 
sufficiently  substantial  'to  bear  the 
loads  to  be  imposed  upon  it. 

The  side  slopes  and  lateral  dimen- 
sions of  said  embankmenis  shall  be 
fixed  and  determined  by  the  natural 
angle  of  repose  of  the  materials. of

construoted,  but  whenever  it  may 
become  necessary  for  the  purpose  of 
keeping  said  embankments  entirely 
within  the  lines  of  the  right  of  way 
of  said  company  such  portions  of 
said  embankments  at  all  such  points 
shall  be  kept  within  said  right  of 
way  lines  by,  or  they  shall  be  con- 
fined between,  retaining  walls  of 
stone,  or  concrete  masonry;  pro- 
vided, however,  that  whenever  said 
retaining  walls  are  of  insufficient 
height  to  properly  protect  said  right 
of  way  and  to  prevent  trespassing 
thereon,  then  said  retaining  walls, 
as  aforesaid,  shall  be  surmounted 
with  a  suitable  fence  or  railing;  but 
whenever  said  retaining  walls  are 
not  used  at  all,  said  right  of  way  of 
said  company  shall  be  fenced  in  or 
otherwise  properly  enclosed  in  com- 
pliance with  the  ordinances  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  relating  to  the 
fencing  of  railroad  tracks. 

Section  3.  The  said  elevated 
tracks  shall  be  carried  across  South 
California  avenue,  which  by  the 
terms  of  this  ordinance  is  to  be  pro- 
vided with  a  subway,  on  a  bridge 
having  one,  two,  three  or  four  spans, 
whose  superstructure  shall  consist 
of  iron,  steel  or  reinforced  concrete, 
or  a  combination  of  the  same,  with 
some  suitable  device  provided  that 
shall  prevent  storm  water,  dirt,  oil 
and  other  substances  from  dropping 
from  such  elevated  structure  into 
the  subway  beneath.  The  said 
bridge  shall  be  of  the  so-called  "bal- 
lasted" type,  constructed  according 
to  the  most  approved  practice  to  in- 
sure its  being  permanent  and  water- 
proof, and  shall  be  supported  upon 
abutments  of  stone  or  concrete 
masonry,  or  upon  abutments  and 
rows  of  iron,  steel  or  reinforced 
concrete  columns,  braced  together 
laterally  and  erected  on  and  an- 
chored to  masonry  foundations  con- 
structed within  the  lines  of  the 
right  of  way  occupied  by  said  com- 
pany, and  in  center  and  curb  lines 
of  the  intersecting  street,  as  pro- 
vided in  the  schedule  for  the  subway 
herein  contained,  provided  that  the 


foundations  of  all  retaining  walls, 
abutments  and  piers  may  project  a 
reasonable  distance  beyond  the  lines 
of  the  right  of  way  occupied  by 
said  company  and  under  the  surface 
of  the  public  highway  and  side- 
walks. 

Section  4.  The  subway  herein- 
before referred  to  in  Section  1, 
Paragraph  1  of  this  ordinance,  shall 
be  constructed  as  to  its  size,  dimen- 
sions, location  and  other  details.,  in

deflected  from  the  position  in  which 
they  are  found,  shall  be  replaced  or 
suitable  expedients  shall  be  devised 
and  provided  to  restore  them  in  all 
respects  to  their  former  state  of 
usefulness,  but  the  gradients  of  the 
sewers  shall  not  be  reduced  in  any 
event. 

All  excavation  that  shall  be  made 
within  the  limits  of  the  subway  and

prior  to  the  paving  of  the  subway, 
shall  be  back-filled  with  sand, 
gravel,  or  cinders,  and  flooded  or 
tamped  in  such  manner  as  to  assure 
the  full  settlement  of  such  back 
filling  before  the  pavement  is  laid. 
Provided,  however,  that  if  in  t^ie 
.construction  of  the  subway  and  ap-

wires  aforesaid,  in  complying  with 
the   provisions   of  this   paragraph, 
elect  to  string  said  wires  on  the 
underside  of  the  bridge  structure 
supporting  the  tracks  of  said  rail-

be  strung  and  protected  in  a  manner 
satisfactory  to   said  raili^oad  com- 
pany.    In  no  case  shall  more  than 
two  (2)   trolley  wires  be  strung  in 
the  subway  through   which   street 
railways  pass. 

•  All  overhead  wires  or  cables  be- 
longing to  the  City  of  Chicago  which

company  whose  tracks  said  wires 
may  cross. 

Section    6.      Provision    shall    be 
made  for  the  drainage  of  the  sub- 
way   wherever    the-  street    is    de-

dinance, by  the  construction  of  re- 
ceiving basins  properly  located  in 
or    inmiediately    adjacent    to    said 
subway,  which  said  receiving  basins 
shall  be   oomiected   with  and  dis- 
charge their  contents  into  the  ad- 
jacent city  sewerb.     Provided,  that 
when  no  adjacent  city  sewers  exist 
at  the  time  when  this  ordinance  is 
passed,   the   City   of   Chicago   shall 
take  the   necessary   steps   to   have 
such  sewer  constructed  by  Special 
Assessment  wherever  they  can  be 
constructed  in  public  streets  outside 
of  the  railroad  right  of  way.     The 
railroad     company     whose     tracks 
cross  the  subway  drained  by  such 
sewer  shall  pay  its  proper  assessed 
portion  of  the  cost  of  such  sewer. 
In  the  event  that  Special  Assess- 
ments cannot  be   legally   levied  to 
pay  for  the  construction  of  any  such 
sewer  as  may  be  necessary  to  drain 
the  subway,  then  such  sewer  shall 
be  constructed  and  the  entire  cost 
thereof  shall  be  paid  by  the  railroad 
company  which  is  hereinbefore  re- 
quired to  construct  the  subway  to 
be  drained;  provided,  however,  said 
railroad  company  shall  not  be  re- 
quired to  bear  the  expense  of  con- 
structing a  sewer  for  a  greater  dis- 
tance    than     three    hundred     feet 
(300')   from  the  portal  of  the  sub- 
way to  be  drained. 

Adequate  provision  shall  be  made 
in  the  subway  provided  for  in  this 
ordinance  to  prevent  storm  water 
from  flowing  over  the  copings  and 
around  the  ends  of  abutments  upon 
the  sidewalks. 

Section  7.  Paragraph  1.  That 
the  subway  and  the  approach  there- 
to shall  be  constructed  by  said  com- 
pany within  the  area  to  be  covered

existing  laws  or  ordinances  it  will 
be  the  duty  of  any  street  railway

mates submitted  therewith  (in

City  op  Chicago,! 
Department  of  Finance,  I 
January  20,   1916.J 
To    the    Honor  able    William    Rale 
Thompson,  Mayor,  and  the  Hon- 
orable  City   Council   of  the   City 
of  Chicago: 

Gentlemen — As  provided  by  Sec- 
tion 42  of  the  Revised  Code,  I  have 
the  honor  to  submit  herewith  the 
Departmental  and  Comptroller's 
Estimates  pertaining  to  the  Annual 
Appropriation  Bill  for  the  year  1916. 
The  estimated  revenue  accruing 
to  the  Corporate  Fund  during  the 
year,  available  for  appropriations, 
is  $26,885,993.26;  the  Departmental 
estimates  for  expenditures  charge- 
able to  that  fund  amount  to  $30,- 
245,829.10.  With  the  reductions 
shown  in  the  Comptroller's  Esti- 
mate, which  totals  $26,885,993.26, 
and  the  adoption  of  the  recom- 
mendations set  forth  in  the  Budget 
as  hereinafter  outlined,  the  esti- 
mated appropriation  will  equal  the 
estimated  revenue,  and  not  exceed 
the  same,  as  has  been  customary  for 
years  past.  It  is  believed  this  re- 
sult can  be  obtained  without  in  any 
way  crippling  the  service. 

As  an  appendix  to  the  Comptrol- 
ler's Estimate  is  the  following  state- 
ment : 

Less  the  following  items  to  be 
deducted  in  accordance  with  re- 
port and  recommendationis  of  the 
Comptroller  transmitted  herewith, 
which  may  be  eliminated  by  ac- 
tion of  the  City  Council : 
1.  Consolidation        and 
elimination    of    du- 
plication in  the  in- 
spection service,  as 
recommended       b  y

proved by  the 
Comptroller  $405,582 

2.  Standardization        o  f

pensation in  the 
Department  of  Law, 
as  recommended  by 
the  EfFicientey  Di- 
vision to  the  Com- 
mittee on  Finance..     75,300

pair shops 50,000

municipal  testing

5.  Consolidation     of    all 

municipal  store- 
houses and  unifica- 
tion of  delivery 
systems    10,000 

6.  Further        estimated 

reduction  in  elec- 
tion expense  in 
connection  with 
registration  and  re- 
vision of  March

Total  $610,882 


The  items  contained  therein  will 
be  treated  ^separately : 

1.  The  consolidation  of  the  In- 
spection and  Permit  Services  of  the 
city  is  one  which  should  receive  the 
careful  attention  of  the  City  Coun- 
cil, and  wherever  necessary,  reme- 
dial legislation  should  be  adopted. 
Not  only  will  the  city  thereby  gain 
through  elimination  of  waste  and 
overlapping  jurisdiction  and  con- 
flict, but  the  citizens  will  profit 
from  lessened  cost  and  attendant 
annoyance.  Copy  of  report  thereon 
by  the  Efficiency  Division  is  at- 
tached hereto  as  Appendix  "A". 

2.  The  Finance  Committee  has 
before  it  a  report  by  the  Efficiency 
Division  on  the  standardization  of 
service  and  compensation  in  the 
various  branches  of  the  Department 


of  Law.  It  is  believed  that  the 
adoption  of  the  plan  suggested 
above  will  result  in  a  saving  to  the 
Corporate  Fund  of  the  amount  set 
forth  above  without  crippling  the 
service. 

3.  The  city  now  owns  a  practi- 
cally complete  municipal  machine 
shop,  foundry  and  storehouse  which 
is  intended  to  care  for  all  of  the 
repairs  and  shop  construction  now 
carried  on  in  separate  departmental 
and  bureau  plants.  The  only  part  of 
this  plant  in  operation  is  the 
foundry.  No  definite  plan  has  been 
worked  out  regarding  its  unified 
operation  and  no  steps  taken  to  con- 
solidate therein  the  various  shops 
now  working  either  on  repair  or 
construction  work. 

It  is  suggested  that  the  Finance 
Committee  at  once  take  up  study  of 
the  problem  involved  to  the  end  that 
a  plan  may  be  worked  out  for  uni- 
fied control  and  operation.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  through  such  plan  a 
saving  of  $50,000  may  be  effected, 
as  follows: 

(a)  Decrease  in  number  of  tools 

and  machines  necessary  to 
.carry  on  various  activi- 
ties. 

(b)  Increase    in    load    factor    of 

both  men  and  machines. 

(c)  Reduc/tion  in  overhead. 

(d)  Centralization  of  records  and 

overhead  forces. 

(e)  Centralization  of  authority. 

(if)  Standardization  of  city  ma- 
chinery and  equipment. 

(g)  Through  the  above  it  would 
be  possible  to  introduce 
modern  methods  of  plan- 
ning and  routing  work 
through  shops. 

Any  plan  which  contemplates  the 
parcelling  out  of  space  to  various 
departments,  to  be  operated  and 
controlled  independently  will,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  Comptroller  and  his 
advisers,  result  in  no  saving  but 
will  bring  about  confusion  and  con-

flict  of  authority  and  no  fixed  re- 
sponsibility. 

4.  There  are  now  in  ojJeration 
six  different  laboratories  in  various 
portions  of  the  city.  The  same 
argument  regarding  consolidation  of 
shop  operation  applies  to  these 
laboratories. 

5.  The  same  applies  to  the  new 
municipal  storehouse.  In  this  con- 
nection there  should  be  taken  into 
consideration  the  fact  that  through 
unification  and  lesser  stock  on  hand, 
advantage  may  be  taken  of  con- 
solidated purchases  and  economy  to 
be  secured  through  systematic  de- 
livery. 

PLAYGROUNDS. 

The  attention  of  the  City  Council 
is  called  to  the  fact  that  during  the 
year  1916  there  will  be  ready  for 
operation  forty-six  new  playgrounds 
equipped  out  of  bond  issue,  which 
are  located  on  school  property,  and 
thirteen  other  playgrounds  similarly 
located.  Inasmuch  as  the  larger 
portion  of  the  benefit  derived  from 
these  playgrounds  is  obtained  by 
children  of  school  age,  and  that  they 
are  in  fact  an  adjunct  to  the  educa- 
tional system,  it  is  believed  that  the 
corporate  fund  should,  in  part  at 
least,  be  relieved  from  this  burden, 
and  that  it  should  be  assumed  by 
the  Board  of  Education. 

It  is  therefore  recommended  that 
the  Finance  Gommitte©  enter  into 
negotiations  with  the  Board  of 
Education  to  the  end  that  the  said 
board  take  over  and  operate  the 
playgrounds  above  mentioned. 

MUNICIPAL  PIER. 

The  new  municipal  pier  erected 
out  of  bond  issue  voted  by  the 
people  is  rapidly  approaching  com- 
pletion, but  no  provision  has  as  yet 
been  made  for  its  management  or 
operation.  Owing  to  the  uncertainty 
of  the  amount  required  for  thiat 
purpose,  the  jurisdiction  thereof 
and  the  revenue  expected  to  be  de- 


rived,   no    estimate    covering    the 
same  is  contained  in  the  budget. 

It  is  suggested,  therefore,  that 
the  City  Council  take  immediate 
steps  to  determine  all  questions  ret- 
garding  the  control,  operatiion  and 
management  of  the  pier. 

ADDITIONAL  PATROLMEN. 

The  Council  Committee  on  Schools, 
Fire,  Police  and  Civil  Service  has 
recommended  an  addition  of  1292 
patrolmen  to  the  active  force  of 
the  police  department.  Attention  is 
called  to  the  fact  that  the  corporate 
revenues  will  not  permit  such  an 
increase. 

There  are  now  on  the  eligible  list 
for  patrolmen  in  the  office  of  the 
Civil  Service  Commission  about  320 
names.  If  any  increase  in  the  num- 
ber of  patrolmen  be  granted,  it  is 
suggested  that,  in  order  to  comply 
with  the  established  rules  of  the 
police  department  regarding  in- 
struction, such  increase  be  not  to 
exceed  fifty  men  per  month. 

MOVING  PICTURE  FILMS. 

It  is  suggested  that  the  fee  for 
examination  of  moving  picture 
films  be  increased  on  an  equitable 
basis,  and  that  all  censoring  be  done 
in  the  City  Hall  to  the  end  that  more 
unified  control  may  be  had  and  that 
the  activity  of  that  division  be 
made  self-supporting. 

CLARENDON  BATHING  BEACH. 

The  bathing  beach  known  as  the 
Clarendon  beach,  operated  by  the 
small  parks  commission,  will  be 
put  in  operation  during  the  coming 
summer.  It  is  recommended  that 
consideration  be  given  to  the  ad- 
visability of  establishing  a  nominal 
fee  for  the  use  of  the  facilities 
offered  in  order  that  the  beach  be 
made  self-sustaining. 

AUTOMOBILES. 

It  is  believed  that  further  investi- 
gation will  result  in  a  better  stand- 
ard  and  consequent  saving  in  the 


2978 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


January  24,  1916. 


matter   of   privately   owned   auto- 
mobiles eompensated  for  by  the  city. 

WATER  FUND. 

The  Comptroller's  estimate,  ^  as 
forwarded,  shows  a  largely  in- 
creased charge  to  the  water  fund 
for  the  operation  of  sewers,  bureau 
of  city  hall  and  department  of 
supplies.  It  is  believed  that  these 
increases  are  warranted  and  based 
upon  sound  judgment,  by  reason  of 
the  functions  performed,  and  will 
to  that  extent  relieve  the  corporate 
fund,  admittedly  inadequate  under 
existing  revenue  laws. 

In  this  connection  it  is  recom- 
mended that  in  the  appropriation 
of  sums  from  the  water,  fund  /nd 
the  wheel  tax  fund,  there  should  be 
the  same  care  and- economy  as  is 
devoted  to  those  from  the  corporate 
fund. 

AUTOMATIC  SALARY  INCREASES. 

No  automatic  increases  in  salaries 
have  been  inserted  in  the  estimates, 
and  this  matter  is  left  to  the  con- 
sideration of  the  City  Council. 

RIVERS  AND  HARBORS. 

It  is  suggested  that  the  City  Coun- 
cil consider  a  plan  of  unified  control 
of  all  functions  surrounding  the 
rivers  and  docks  which  constitute 
the  harbor  of  Chicago,  and  that  ex- 
isting provisions  of  the  city  code 
be  amended  so  as  to  provide.: 

(a)  That  river  and  harbor  con- 
trol be  under  a  bureau  in  the  De- 
partment of  Public  Works. 

(b)  That  the  matters  of  polic- 
ing bridges,  dredging  inspection 
and  harbor  contamination  be 
centralized  in  the  bureau.  This 
will  result  in  returning  to  active 
police  work  about  one  hundred 
patrolmen  now  on  bridge  and 
dock  detail,  and  their  replace- 
ment by  men  at  a  lower  salary 
grade. 

(c)  That  the  service  i^  the  re- 
spective divisions  be  so  classified 
and  graded  as  to  permit  promo- 


tion, as  an  incentive  to  efficient 
service,  thereby  permitting  group 
advancement  and  grade  promo- 
tion from  the  lowest  to  the  high- 
est position  in  the  bureau. 

LICENSES. 

It  is  recommended  that  study  be 
given  and  a  revision  made  of  the 
ordinances  governing  licenses,  with 
a  view  toward  better  control  and 
greater  revenue. 

It  is  further  recommended  that 
there  be  created  a  corps  of  in- 
spectors in  the  City  Collector's  of- 
fice which  will  replace  patrolmen 
now  detailed  as  license  ofiicers  by 
the  Department  of  Police.  It  is  be- 
lieved such  a  plan  will  result  not 
only  in  increased  revenue  at  a  re- 
duced expense  to  the  city,  but  will 
permit  the  return  to  police  duty 
of  approximately  fifty  members  of 
the  Department  of  Police. 

WASTE  DISPOSAL. 

The  problems  in  connection  with 
the  collection,  transportation  and 
disposal  of  city  waste  suggest  the 
need  of  more  unified  control  and 
consequent  economy  and  efficiency 
in  operation. 

COMPENSATION     AND     TRACK     ELEVA- 
TION. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  exist- 
ing Bureau  of  Compensation  be 
made  a  division  of  the  Bureau  of 
Streets,  and  the  executive  force 
thereof  be  transferred  to  and  con- 
solidated with  the  track  elevation, 
permit  and  inspection  work  of  that 
bureau. 

ASSISTANT     SUPERINTENDENT    OP 
STREETS. 

It  is  recommended  that  the  sal- 
aries of  Assistant  Superintendents 
of  Streets  be  made  equal,  in  view 
of  the  fact  that  the  authority  and 
responsibilities  of  each  such  posi- 
tion are  the  same. 

CONCLUSIONS. 

The    Comptroller,    of    course,    is 


January  24,  1916. 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


2979 


apprised  of  the  fact  that  his  esti-  ' 
mate  as  submitted  will  not  and  can- 
not meet  with  the  approval  of  all 
interested  therein.  There  are  many 
activities  deserving  of  added  ap- 
propriations, and  many  employes 
entitled  by  their  work  to  added 
compensation;  but  the  Comptroller's 
estimate  of  expenditures  should 
come  within  the  estimated  revenue, 
and  it  is  presented  on  that  basis. 

All  of  the  department  heads  have 
offered  their  earnest  co-operation 
in  assisting  the  Comptroller  to 
finance  the  budget  for  the  coming 
year.  Careful  scrutiny  of  the  de- 
tails that  go  to  make  up  the  aggre- 
gate by  Alderman  John  A.  Richert, 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Finance,  and  James  Miles  and  F.  H. 
Cenfield  of  the  Efficiency  Division 
of  the  Civil  Service  Commission, 
gives  every  evidence  that  the  allot- 
ment is  as  fair  and  equitable  as 
could  be  made. 

Yours  respectfully,

The  undersigned,  a  minority  of 
your  Committee  on  Schools,  Fire, 
Police  and  Civil  Service,  to  which 
committee  was  referred  on  Novem- 
ber 29,  1915,  ipage  2311  of  the  Pro-

fully  considered  the  same,  dissent 
from  the  findings  of  the.  majority  of 
the  said  Committee  and  beg  leave 
to  report  as  follows : 

The  question  of  whether  or  not 
more  patrolmen  should  be  added  to 
the  police  force  of  the  City  of  Chi- 
cago is  one  which  should  have  the 
most  careful  consideration  after  a 
detailed  study  of  the  situation  as  to 
prevalence  of  crime  and  disorder, 
causes  of  the  same  and  a  determina- 
tion of  suitable  remedies. 

Such  an  inquiry  was  made  by  a 
select  committee  of  this  Council  in 
the  years  1914-5.  After  a  most  ex- 
haustive investigation,  the  Com- 
mittee, on  Crime  reported,  March  22, 
1915,  its  findings  and  recommenda- 
tions, which  findings  and  recom- 
mendations were  adopted  as  the 
policy  of  the  City  of  Chicago. 

In  the  third  division  of  the  sum- 
mary of  findings  in  the  report  of  the 
Committee,  page  11,  the  Crime 
Committee  reported  as  follows : 

"Police  organization  and  methods 
are  wholly  inadequate  to  deal  with 
the  crime  situation  in  Chicago,  as- 
suming the  integrity  of  all  members 
of  the  force.  Incompetence,  lack  of 
discipline,  and  aggressiveness  are 
noticeable  on  a  large  scale.  These 
may  be  summed  up  under  the  fol- 
lowing heads : 

"a.  Lack  of  adequate  publicity 
regarding  police  statistics. 

"b.  Lack  of  follow-up  system 
from  criminal  complaints. 

"c.  Lack  of  effective  supervision 
of  patrolmen. 

"d.  Lack  of  effective  direction  of 
detective  work. 

"e.  Lack  of  discipline  and  ag- 
gressiveness. 

"1.  Failure  of  patrolmen  to 
cover  night  beats  seriously  cripples 
the  protection  of  persons  and  prop- 
erty. 

"2.  Detective  sorgonnts  are  not 
required  to  make  adequate  and  de- 
tailed reports  of  their  work. 

"3.    The  first  need  of  the  force  is 


the  more  effective  use  of  those  now 
available  rather  than  an  increase  in 
the  for^e." 

In  the  summary  of  recommenda- 
tions published  upon  page  13  of  the 
report  of  the  Crime  Committee, 
recommendations  1,  2,  3,  5,  7,  8,  9, 
10,  11,  12,  13,  14  and  15  pertain 
particularly  to  the  administration 
of  the  police.  These  recommenda- 
tions were  not  only  contained  in  the 
report  of  the  Committee  on  Crime 
but  were  specifically  referred  to  the 
Department  of  Police  for  ai)plica- 
tion  and  administration  by  an  order 
of  this  Council  unanimously  passed 
April  8,  1915,  page  4371  of  the 
Proceedings.  It  is  notorious  that  no 
effort  has  been  made  by  the  respon- 
sible heads  of  the  police  department 
to  put  into  effect  these  recom- 
mendations adopted  as  the  policy  of, 
the  City  of  Chicago  by  the  City 
Council.  Recently  in  a  public  hear- 
ing before  the  Board  of  Civil  Service 
Commissioners,  the  present  General 
Superintendent  of  Police  stated  that 
he  had  not  considered  them. 

Before  the  Committee  on  Schools, 
Fire,  Police  and  Civil  Service  Janu- 
ary 18,  1916,  the  same  General 
Superintendent  of  Police  refused  to 
discuss  what  efforts  had  been  made, 
if  any,  to  put  into  effect  these 
recommendations. 

In  view  of  the  findings  of  the 
Committee  on  Crime  after  the  most 
exhaustive  study  that  has  ever  been 
made  of  crime  and  its  causes  in  the 
City  of  Chicago;  in  view  of  the  fact 
that  the  Commission  made  certain 
specific  recommendations  with 
reference  to  the  administration  of 
the  Department  of  Police  to  render 
that  Department  more  efficient, 
which  recommendations-  have  been 
adopted  las  the  policy  of  the  City  of 
Chicago  and  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
the  responsible  heads  of  the  Police 
Department  have  utterly  and  fla- 
grantly ignored  the  recommendations 
of  the  City  Council  and  made  no 
effort  to  make  them  of  effect,  the 
question  of  whether  more  patrol- 
men should  be  added  to  the  police

force  (after  the  question  of  whether 
it  can  be  financed  has  been  deter- 
mined) should  rest  squarely  upon 
the  ability  of  the  General  Superin- 
tendent of  Police  to  prove  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  City  Council: 

1.  That  the  present  force  is 
efficiently  managed. 

2.  That  the  recommendations  of 
the  Gommittee  on  Grime  have  been 
carried  out  or  that  it  is  unnecessary 
and  inadvisable  to  do  so. 

3.  That  the  present  police  force 
is  unable  to  cope  with  present  crime 
conditions  and  that  even  at  a  maxi- 
mum of  efficient  management  it 
would  be  unable  to  cope  with  pres- 
ent crimci  conditions. 

4.  That  the  citizens  of  Ghicago 
are  receiving  a  return  in  police  pro- 
tection commensurate  with  the  cost 
of  the  same  according  to  available 
standards  of  comparison. 

These  considerations  should  gov- 
ern the!  question  of  whether  or  not 
the  police  force  should  be  numer- 
ically increased  at  all.  After  a  de- 
cision has  been  reached  upon  this 
point,  if  it  should  be  that  the  force 
should  be  increased,  then  before  a 
definite  number  is  adopted  as  the 
number  of  men  to  be  added  to  the 
force  these  additional  considera- 
tions should  govern  after  the  most 
careful  investigation: 

a.  A  proper  basis  for  estimating 
what  constitutes,  numerically,  ade- 
quate police  protection  should  be 
determined  based  upon  population, 
density  of  population,  character  of 
population,  area,  street  miles,  street 
lighting,  transportation  facilities, 
local  prevalence  of  crime,  character 
of  prevailing  local  crimie,  number 
of  local  arrests,  character  of  local 
arrests,  character  of  neighborhoods, 
whether  commercial,  industrial, 
financial  or  residence,  etc. 

b.  The  presient  force  sihould  be 
redistributed  upon  that  basis,  or  as 
nearly  so  as  possible. 

c.  Numerical  shortcomings  of 
the  present  force  should  then  be 
carefully  ^  calculated,   afteir  a  suffi- 


cient lapse  to  ascertain  the  effect, 
if  any,  of  the  rearrangement  upon 
crime  conditions. 

d.  Exact  calculations  should  be 
made  of  thei  number  of  new  men 
needed,  if  any,  of  each  grade  and 
the  cost  of  the  proposed  increase  and 
a  statement  compiled  showing  what 
disposition  would  be  mad©  of  them 
if  the  increase  were  authorized. 

From  time  to  time  the  General 
Superintendent  of  Polioei  submitted 
statistics  and  arguments  to  the  Com- 
mittee on  Schools,  Fire,  Police,  and 
Civil  Service  to  support  his  request 
for  1,292  additional  patrolmen.  He 
appeared  at  some  hearings  of  the 
Committee  and  failed  to  appear  at 
others.  Finally,  January  18,  1916, 
his  secretary  appeared  at  11  a.  m. 
and  informed  the  Committee  that 
the  General  Superintendent  had 
been  advised  by  the  Comptroller  of 
the  City  of  Chicago  that  the  financial 
condition  of  the  City  would  not  per- 
mit the  addition  of  any  patrolmen 
during  the  year  1916.  The  secre- 
tary stated  that  in  view  of  that 
situation,  the  General  Superinten- 
dent desired  to  withdraw  his  re- 
quest for  1,292  additional  patrolmen. 
Certain  members  of  the  Committee 
desired  that  the  Chief  send  his#with- 
drawal  in  writing  and  the  chairman 
requested  the  Chief's  secretary  to 
ask  the  General  Superintendent  to 
write  such  a  letter  and  appear  with 
it  before  the  Gommittee  at  2  p.  m. 
The  General  Superintendent  ap- 
peared at  2  p.  m.  but  announced 
that,  notwithstanding  that  he  was 
satisfied  the  finances  of  the  City 
would  not  permit  his  obtaining  ad- 
ditional patrolmen,  he  had  changed 
his  mind  and  would  not  withdraw 
his  request  but  would  ask  the  Com- 
mittee to  recommend  that  his  re- 
quest for  1,292  additional  patrolmen 
be  granted.  Discussion  followed 
during  which  the  General  Superin- 
tendent definitely  and  flatly  refused 
to  discuss  statistics  comparing  the 
number  and  cost  of  the  police  of 
Chicago  with  the  number  and  cost 
I  of  police  of  other  cities;  the  statis-

tics  of  the  Chicago  Police  Depart- 
ment prepared  by  him  and,  finally, 
the  question  of  carrying  out  the  rec- 
ommendations of  the  Grime  Com- 
mittee. 

The  minority  of  the  Committee 
submits : 

1.  That  the  General  Superinten- 
dent of  Police  presented  no  data  to 
indicate  the  efficiency  of  the  man- 
agement of  the  present  police  force. 

2.  He  did  not  indicate  that  any- 
thing had  been  done  to  carry  out  the 
recommendations  of  the  Committee 
on  Crime  nor  did  he  introduce  any- 
thing to  sihow  it  to  be  unneoeissary 

j        nor  inexpedient  to  do  so. 

3.  He  did  not  allege  that  the 
present  police  force  is  unable  to 
cope  with  present  crime  conditions 
and  he  did  not  allege  either  that  it 
is  now  operated  at  a  maximum  of 
efficiency  or  that  its  management 
could  not  be  altered  so  as  to  cope 
more  efficiently  with  present  crime 
conditions. 

4.  In  introducing  comparative 
figures  concerning  the  police  de- 
partment lOf  Chicago  and  the  cor- 
responding departments  of  other 
large  cities  he  omitted  figures  on 
cost  of  police  protection. 

He  assumed  that  there  could  be 
no  doubt  that  additional  patrolmen 
were  required  and  fixed  an  exact 
number  of  new  men  that  he  said  he 
needed.  With  reference  to  the  de- 
termination of  this  exact  number, 
the  minority  of  your  Committee 
submits: 

a.  That  the  General  Superinten- 
dent of  Police  was  unable  to  state 
to  the  Committee  the  basis  of  cal- 
culation used  by  him  in  arriving  at 
the  number,  1,292.  After  discus- 
sion of  this  point  at  two  sessions 
of  the  Committee  the  General  Su- 
perintendent refused  to  discuss  it 
further  alleging  it  to  be  sufficient 


that  he  had  recommended  that  num- 
ber and  implying  that  the  Alder- 
men needed  no  further  information 
than  that.  Analysis  of  the  General 
Superintendent's  table  of  statistics 
concerning  the  police  force  of  Chi- 
cago indicates  plainly  that  the 
present  distribution  of  patrolmen  is 
not  based  upon  population,  area, 
criminal  complaints  or  arrests  nor 
any  definite  combinaiion  of  these 
or  any  of  thesie.  No  detailed  figures 
were  submitted  as  to  street  mileage 
and  no  figures  at  all  or  other  data 
as  to  character  of  localities,  charac- 
ter of  prevailing  local  crime  or 
character  of  local  arrests. 

b.  and  c.  No  statement  was  in- 
troduced indicating  that  any  calcu- 
lations had  been  made  or  were 
about  to  be  made  to  fix  a  basis  for 
estimating  numerically  adequate 
police  protection,  nor  that  any  re- 
arrangement of  present  police  de- 
tails were  contemplated. 

d.  No  statement  was  introduced 
indicating  how  it  was  proposed  to 
detail  the  new  men  in  order  that  the 
Committee  might  judge  whether  the 
exact  number  asfeed  for  was  needed 
nor  were  any  estimates  of  cost  sub- 
mitted. 

Scant  consideration  was  given  to 
the  figures  submitted  by  the  General 
Superintendent  and  still  less  con- 
sideration was  given  to  figures  sub- 
mitted by  a  member  of  the  minority 
of  your  Committee.  The  minority 
has  however,  considered  these  sta- 
tistics and  submits  herewith  its 
analysis  of  them. 

The  first  figures  submitted  by  the 
General  Superintendent  of  Police 
consisted  of  a  table  of  statistics 
comparing  area,  population,  street  ^ 
mileage,  number  of  patrolmen  and- 
the  proportion  of  patrolmen  to 
population  and  street  mileage  in  ten 
large  cities,  as  follows:

From  these  tables  it  is  apparent 
that  the  police  department  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  is  less  efficiently 
managed  than  the  police  depart- 
ments of  the  other  large  cities 
named,  for,  while  the  General  Su- 
perintendent of  Police  drew  atten- 
tion to  the  fact  that  New  York  and 
St.  Louis  have  proportionately  more 
potrolmen  according  to  population 
and  street  mileage  than  Ghicago, 
the  cost  figures,  which  he  omitted  to^ 
furnish,  show  that  our  population' 
pays  as  much  per  capita  to  the 
penny  as  these  cities  for  police  pro- 
tectiion.  It  is  also  shown  that  of 
the  thirteen  cities  named  there  are 
Dnly  two  that  spend  more  money 
per  capita  than  Chicago  for  police 
protection.  The  government  cen- 
sus figures  for  1913  indicate  similar 
high  costs  for  police  protection  in 
;that  year. 

Further  than  this  the  United 
States  census  figures  show  that  Chi- 
cago in  1913  spent  a  greater  propor- 


tion of  its  total  expenditures  for  po- 
lice protection  than  any  other  large 
city  in  the  country  and  25%  more 
than  New  York,  which  city  was  cited 
most  emphatically  by  the  General 
Superintendent  of  Police  as  furnish- 
ing by  comparison  a  horrible  ex- 
ample of  Chicago's  lack  of  patrol- 
men. 

When  these  facts  were  called  to 
thje  attention  of  the  head  of  the  po- 
lice department  he  volunteered  the 
information  that  New  York  works 
its  policemien  in  more  regular  and 
humane  shifts  than  does  Ghicago 
and  that  this  is  more  expensive 
than  the  plan  pursued  in  this  city. 
He  also  said  that  New  York  pays 
higher  salaries  to  patrolmen  than 
does  the  City  of  Ghicago.  Thus,  it 
is  seen  that  for  exactly  the  same 
cost  per  capita  to  its  citizens  New 
York  furnishes  proportionately  more 
patrolmen,  works  them  more  ex- 
pensively in  better  arranged  hours 
and  pays  them  higher  wages  than 
Ghicago. 

Referring  to  the  table  prepared  by 
the  Municipal  Reference  Librarian 
of  the  City  of  Ghicago,  it  is  seen  that 
Chicago  has  a  far  greater  percentage 
of  detectives  on  its  police  force  and 
a  still  greater  proportion  of  other 
employes  than  any  other  city  cited. 

Likewise,  the  percentage  of  pa- 
trolmen to  the  wlhole  number  of  the 
force  is  considerably  less  than  that 
of  all  but  two  of  the  other  cities 
and  is  next  to  lowest  in  the  entire 
list.  These  percentagBs  work  out  as 
follows :

Departments  assigned  to  patrol  duty

This  disproportion  of  patrolmen 
to  tbe  numerical  force  of  the  de- 
partment as  compared  with  other 
cities,  and  preponderance  of  detec- 
tives is  the  more  startling  when  it 
is  rememhered  that  the  State's  At- 
torney of  Cook  County  recently  re- 
ferred to  the  Chicago  Detective  Bu- 
reau as  a  "den  of  thieves'.

This  table  was  later  augmented 
by  a  large  detailed  sheet  of  figures 
supplying,  in  addition  thereto  and 
for  each  police  precinct,  population, 
number  of  patrolmen  assigned  and 
actually  doing  duty,  area,  number 
of  posts,  population  per  patrolman 
number  of  crimes  and  number  of 
arrests. 

The  figures  are  ;eloquent.     They 
show  that  of  Chicago's   3,597  pa- 
trolmen,   December    1,    1915,    only 
1,609  were  actually  traveling  post 
duty.    If  to  these  should  be  added 
those  on  strike  duty   who   in   the 
absence  of  strikes  might  travel  posts 
and  the  patrolmen  on  traffic,  wagon, 
ambulance,  bridge  and  depot  duty 
so  as  to  include  all  who  might  by 
any  interpretation  be  held  as  doing 
patrolmen's  work,  the  total  is  only 
2  817  or  78.3%  of  the  patrolmen  on 
the  force.      These  travel   in  three 
shifts  so  that  only  26.1%  of  the  pa- 
trolmen of  Chicago,  on  an  average, 
are  traveling  beat  at  any  one  time 
and  these  only  theoretically.    As  a 
matter  of  fact  December  1, 1915,  only 
44.7%  of  Chicago's  patrolmen  were 
traveling  beat  and   an   average  of  1 
only  14.9%  were  doing  post  duty  zX4 
one  time.  '* 

A  member  of  the  minority  of  your 
Committee  made  new  calculations 
based  on  the  General  Superinten- 
dent's figures— by  such  analysis  U) 
ascertain  if  possible  whether  the 
General  Superintendent  has  based 
his  distribution  of  patrolmen  among 
the  various  stations  on  population, 
number  of  crimes  to  the  precinct,  or 
number  of  arrests  to  the  precmct. 
The  table  is  as  follows:

The  irregularities  of  the  above 
columns  of  figures,  showing  the 
wide  variance  in  population  per 
patrolman,  crimes  per  patrolman, 
crimes  per  ten  thousand  of  popula- 
tion, arrests  per  patrolman,  and  ar- 
rests per  ten  thousand  of  popula- 
tion, indicate  plainly  that  the  detail 
of  patrolmen  to  each  precinct  is 
based  upon  none  of  these  nor  upon 
any  combination  of  them  or  any  of 
them. 

In  view  of  all  the  foregoing  the 
minority  of  your  committee  finds : 

1.  That  the  police  department  of 
the  City  of  Chicago  has  been  and  i& 
inefiiciently  and  extravagantly  man- 
aged. 

2.  That  there  is  no  data  at  pres- 
ent available  to  indicate  whether  or 
not  additional  patrolmen  are  neces- 

jsary. 

j  ,3.  That  it  would  be  the  height 
I  of  folly  to  add  numerically  to  the 
ipolice  force  while  it  is  being  as 
I  inefficiently  conducted  as  at  present 
iand  that  radical  changes  in  its 
management  should  antedate  the 
ihiring  of  more  men. 

i  4.  That  the  General  Superin- 
Itendent  of  Police  indicated  that  he 
was  insincere  in  asking  for  1,292 
additional  patrolmen  at  this  time, 
when  he  told  the  Committee  that  he 
had  been  informed  by  the  Comp- 
troller of  the  City  of  Chicago  that 
the  financial  condition  of  the  city 
fvould  not  permit  additions  to  the 
force. 

Therefore,  it  is  recommended 
.hat  the  request  of  the  General 
superintendent  of  Police  for  1,292 
idditional  patrolmen  be  placed  on 
lie. 

Respectfully  submitted. 
Signed)  Robert  M.  Buck, 

John  C.  Kennedy, 
A.  A.  MgCormick. 

ALSO, 

The  same  committee  submitted  a 
eport  as  follows: 


Chicago,  January  22,  1916. 
To  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen  of  the 

City  of  Chicago  m  City   Council 

Assembled: 

Your  Committee  on  Schools,  Fire, 
Police  and  Civil  Service,  to  whom- 
was  referred  (December  6,  1915, 
page  2464)  an  order  directing  your 
committee  to  investigate  certain 
conduct  of  Detective  Sergeants 
Sloier  and  Etchingham  in  the  gar- 
ment workers'  strike,  having  had 
the  same  under  advisement,  beg 
leave  to  report  and  recommend  that 
said  order  be  placed  on  file. 

This  recommendation  is  made  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  the  garment 
workers'  strike  has  ended  and  in 
view  of  the  policy  adopted  by  your 
committee  in  connection  with  the 
charges  against  the  police  during 
the  said  strike,  namely,  the  policy 
of  ignoring  individual  complaints 
and  seeking  to  deal  with  the  ques- 
tion as  a  whole. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
OSigned)  Thomas  J.  Lynch, 

Chairman.

Bureau  of  Maps  and  Plats,     > 

Chicago,  November  29,  191 5. J 

Mr.  John  D.  Riley,  Superintendent 
of  Maps: 

Dear  Sir — Pursuant  to  your  re- 
quest, I  herewith  submit  a  state- 
ment of  expenditures  by  the  Divi- 
sion of  Surveys  and  results  obtained 
thereby. 

During  the  year  1913,  the  Divi- 
sion of  Surveys  expended  upon  sur- 
veys, wherein  encroachments  were 
involved,  the  sum  of  $11,420.00, 
and  during  1914  the  sum  of 
$8,095.91,  and  during  1915  approxi- 
mately $12,000.00  will  be  expended. 

A  survey  of  the  Chicago  and 
Western  Indiana  Ry.  right  of  way 
was  begun  early  in  1913  and  com- 
pleted in  1914.  This  survey  cost 
the  City  of  Chicago  $14,669.10.  As 
a  direct  result  of  this  survey,  42,800 
sq.  ft.  were  reclaimed  at  118th 
street  and  Torrence  avenue,  1,122 
sq.  ft.  of  stub  end  of  W.  100th  street, 
2,924  sq.  ft.  of  stub  end  of  E.  134th 
street  and  alley  north,  and  10,102 
sq.  ft.  of  alley  just  west  of  C.  &  W. 
I.  Ry.  right  of  way,  between  55th 
and  56th  streets.  The  total  en- 
croachment north  of  87th  street 
claimed  was  479,160  sq.  ft.  and 
south  of  87th  street  claimed  was 
871,000  sq.  ft. 

As  a  further  result  of  the'  C.  &  W. 
I.  Ry.  Co.  survey  a  certain  inter- 
pretation of  an  ordinance  passed 
April  5th,  1911,  is  incorporated  in 
an  ordinance  passed  July  15th,  1915, 
whereby  the  C.  &  W.  I.  Ry.  Co. 
agrees  not  to  claim  that  certain 
streets,  alloys  or  highways  be  va- 
cated to  any  greater  extent  than  is 
shown  on  plats  marked  as  exhibits 
to  said  ordinance  passed  July  15th, 
1915,  als.0  that  the  legal  status  of 
city's  claim  remains  unafFectod. 

Tho  opening  of  E.  103rd  street 
across  the  C.  &  W.  T.  Ry.  right  of 
way  for  a  rlistancc  of  1,500  ft.  was 
due  to  the  findin^^s  of  tho  survey  of 
the    survey    of   this    I'niii'oad    com- 


pany. In  addition,  the  city  receives 
under  the  ordinance  of  July  15, 
1915,  an  annual  compensation  of 
$3,953.75. 

The  sum  of  $54,270.12  was  paid 
to  the  city  by  the  C.  &  W.  I.  Ry.  Co. 
for  the  vacation  of  certain  streets 
and  alleys  in  the  vicinity  from  23rd 
street  to  29th  street  and  Canal  street 
to  Stewart  avenue,  while  the  survey 
of  the  right  of  way  in  this  locality 
was  in  progress  in  1913. 

An  encroachment  or  occupancy  by 
the  C.  &  W.  I.  Ry.  Co.  in  W.  71st 
street  was  found  by  survey,  which 
amounted  to  174,000  sq.  ft.  This 
portion  of  W.  71st  street  was  va- 
cated in  an  ordinance  passed  March 
2nd,  1914,  a  part  consideration  by 
the  company  being  the  removal  of 
tracks  in  75th  street  and  the  paving 
of  59th,  67th  and  75th  streets  for 
about  three  miles. 

The  survey  of  the  A.  T.  &  S.  Fe 
Ry.  was  begun  in  1914  and  com- 
pleted this  year.  This  survey  is  es- 
timated to  cost  $8,221.31. 

A  portion  of  this  railroad  survey 
was  included  in  a  survey  of  Canal- 
port.  A  settlement  was  made  be- 
tween the  city  and  the  Santa  Fe  Ry. 
in  that  part  of  Canalport  lying  be- 
tween the  old  I.  &  M.  Canal  and  the 
Chicago  River,  whereby  the  city 
secured  three  streets — Harvey, 
Robinson  and  Elevator  streets — in 
area  amounting  to  232,000  sq.  ft., 
and  also,  in  addition,  secured  an 
easement  for  a  subway  in  Robey 
street  for  a  distance  of  1,150  ft. 
The  value  of  the  streets  obtained 
under  this  agreement  estimated  at 
the  low  value  of  25c  a  square  foot, 
amounts  to  $58,000.00. 

After  a  survey  of  the  Santa  Fe 
right  of  way  was  begun,  this  rail- 
road made  a  request  for  the  vaca- 
tion of  thirteen  streets  and  alleys  in 
the  vicinity  of  18th  and  Purple 
streets,  amounting  to  132,000  square 
feet.  There  is  a  question  of  title  in 
some  of  these  streets  and  alleys  and 
there  are  also  encroachments  in 
others.

The  ultimate  settlement  in  this 
case,  valuing  the  land  at  $1.00  per 
square  foot,  would  bring  to  the  city 
$132,000.00. 

A  survey  of  Goose  Island  was 
made  in  1914.  This  tract  of  land  is 
occupied  by  the  C.  M.  &  St.  P.  Ry. 
and  a  number  of  industrial  plants. 
Encroachments  and  occupancy 
amounting  to  278,000  sq.  ft.  were 
found. 

Subsequent  to  a  survey  of  the 
original  alley  in  block  bounded  by 
W.  Washington  street,  W.  Madison 
street,  N.  Market  street  and  E. 
Water  street,  occupancy  by  Wm.  V. 
Keeley  and  the  Commonwealth  Edi- 
son Co.,  the  City  Council  upion  pas- 
sage of  an  ordinance  secured 
$40,000.00. 

Survey  of  occupancy  of  property 
by  the  Chicago  House  Wrecking  Go. 
adjusted  by  City  Council  by  com- 
pensation  amounting  to   $10,908.04. 

A  survey  of  the  right  of  way  of 
the  Chicago,  B.  &  0.  Ry.  in  S.  J. 
Walker's  Dock  Addition  to  Chicago, 
between  Blue  Island  avenue,  Chi- 
cago River,  S.  Ashland  avenue  and 
S.  Robey  street,  was  made,  showing 
encroachments  in  practically  all 
streets  therein.  Settlement  is  pend- 
ing. 

A  number  of  surveys  of  lesser  im- 
portance were  made,  in  which  en- 
croachments were  found  and  ad- 
justed. Also  ia  number  of  switch 
tracks  in  use  without  authority 
were  found,  incidental  to  the  sur- 
veys, and  reported. 

A  survey  of  the  I.  C.  Ry.  has  been 
in  progress  for  several  months  past 
and  has  progressed  from  Randolph 
street  to  39th  street.  The  survey  of 
the  entire  right  of  way  will  not  be- 
completed  until  some  time  in  1916.

property  sold  to  the  city  in  default 
of  other  bidders  for  delinquent 
special  assessments,  and  from  the

York,     the     city     of     Phila- 
delphia   or   the   city    of    Bos- 
ton.    Separate    contracts    may 
be  entered  into  with  the  said 
engineers,   and   the   compensa- 
tion, which  is  to  be  determined 
by  the    said    Committee,   may 
vary  as     to     the-    three  to  be 
named,  but  they  shall  be  ap- 
pointed for  terms  of  equal  dur- 
ation, if  lappointed  at  the  same 
time,  or,  if  not  appointed  at  the 
same  time,   they  shall  be  ap- 
pointed for  terms  which  expire 
simultaneously.       Such     terms 
shall  expire  April  1,  1916;  pro- 
vided  that   the   same  may  be 
extended    not  to     exceed     the 
fiscal  year    1916,   if    the  said 
Committee  on  Local  Transpor- 
,  tation  shall   see   fit  to   extend 
them. 

'Sedtion  2.  The  Commissioners 
shall     investigate   and     report 
upon  the  problem  of  obtaining 
improved  transportation  facili- 
ties  for   the    City    of   Chicago 
through  the  unified  operation  as 
a  single  system  of  the  existing 
surface  and  elevated  railroads 
and  the    construction  of    sub- 
ways, to  be  used  as  an  integral 
part  of  such  system  or  in  any 
other  appropriate  manner;  and 
they    shall   consider    fully   the 
financial,     economic   and     en- 
gineering aspects  of  the  prob- 
lem, having  in  mind  the  present 
and       future       transportation 
needs  of  the  City.    They  shall 
prepare  and  recommend  to  said 
Local   Transportation   Commit- 
tee a  concrete  plan  which  they 
shall  deem  for  the  best  inter- 
ests of  the  City  and  its  people 
and  fair  and  just  to  the  com- 
panies     owning   said     existing 
railroads  covering  and  provid- 
ing for  such  unification  and  for 
initial  subways  to  be  used  as 
a  piart  of   the  unified   system. 
The  plan  shall  include  the  lo-

cation,  size,  general  character 
and  use  of  the  initial  subways 
and  a  general  estimatei  of  the 
cost  thereof  (but  nqt  detailed 
plans  and  specifications  there- 
for), and  shall  include  and 
provide  for  all  matters  relating 
to  the  application  of  earnings 
of  the  unified  system,  connec- 
tions, transfer,  extensions  and 
the  co-ordination  of  operation 
between  surface  and  elevated 
lines,  and  any  other  proposi- 
tion recommended  by  them 
shall  be  submitted  in  concrete 
form.  In  working  out  the  plan 
the  Commissioners  shall  accept 
the  valuations  of  the  respec- 
tive surface  lines  as  established 
under  existing  city  ordinances, 
but  such  acceptance  of  said 
valuations  shall  be  without 
prejudice  to  any  existing  mat- 
ters of  accounting  now  in  dis- 
pute between  the  City  of  Chi- 
/cago  and  the  surf  ace  street 
railway  companies,  and  if  it  is 
necessary  for  their  purpose  to 
place  a  valuation  upon  the 
properties  of  the  elevated  rail- 
road companies  they  shall 
value  those  properties  as  they 
may  deem  fair  and  just  and  in 
accordance  with  isioumd  engi- 
neeiring  practice.  The  Commis- 
sioners shall  complete  their 
work  on  or  before  April  1, 
1916,  and  shall  by  that  date 
submit  to  the  City  Council  a 
full  report  thereof  and  of  the 
plan  recommended  and  the  re- 
sults that  may  be  expected 
both  to  the  companies  and  to 
the  City  through  the  carrying 
out  of  such  plan.  In  prepar- 
ing their  plan  the  Commis- 
sioners may  confer  with  any 
transportation  companies  and 
all  branches  of  the  city  govern- 
ment for  the  purpose  of  ob- 
taining information  and  of  se- 
curing their  co-operation  and 
assistance  in  working  out  the 
plan  and  for  the  purpose     of 


obtaining  their  concurrence  so 
far  as  possible  in  the  plan. 

'Section  3.  The  said  Com- 
missioners on  Traction,  Con- 
solidation and  Subways,  in 
preparing  and  submitting  their 
report,  findings,  plans  and 
recommendations  pursuant  to 
the  foregoing  authority,  shall 
provide  for  and  include,  so  far 
as  may  be  practicable,  the  fol-

'3.  The  location  and  general 
plan — but  not  detailed  specifi- 
cations— for  the  construction 
of  a  subway  system  to  be  op- 
erated in  connection  with  the 
surface  and  elevated  lines,  or 
either  or  both.  This  subway 
system  shall  be  designed  to  re- 
lieve congestion  where  addition- 
al trJansportation  facilities 
other  than  subways  cannot  be 
had,  and  to  remove  obisltructions 
to  transportation  routes,  such 
as  the  river  on  Ashland  avenue-, 
Robey  street,  and  other  places. 
Such  subways  shall  be  so  de- 
signed that  they  may  be  ex- 
tended from  time  to  time  to 
meet  the  City's  growth  and  de- 
velopment and  ultimately  to 
form  la  comprehensive  system. 

'4.  The  points  and  manner 
of  connection  between  subway 
and  tihe  surface  and  elevated 
lines,  and  the  general  principles 
to  be  followed  in  unified  opera- 
tion. 

'5.  A  universal  system  of 
transfers  covering  transfer 
points  and  the  general  princi- 
ples governing  the  use  of  trans- 
fers. 

'6.  Provisions  for  necessary 
extensions  of  elevated  lines  so

as  to  meet,  so  far  as  possible, 
the  rapid  transit  needs  of  the 
City  by  extension  of  the  ele- 
vated lines  rather  than  by  sub- 
ways. 

*7.  A  financial  plan  based 
upon  the  present  valuation  of 
the  surface  lines  and  the  valu- 
ation to  be  made  of  the  ele- 
vated lines;  also  covering  the 
additional  capital,  if  any,  re- 
quired from  the  companies  for 
subwiay  purposes  and  for  the 
extension  of  the  elevated  lines. 
'8.  The  consideration  of 
suggestions  and  recommenda- 
tions for  improved  service  by 
the  Committee  on  Local  Trans- 
portation and  such  other  re- 
commendations in  concrete 
form  as  the  Commission  con- 
siders desirable  to  submit  in 
.connection  with  their  report. 

'9.  A  report  on  the  benefits 
to  be  derived  by  the  public  by 
reason  of  unifying  the  traction 
systems— including  the  building 
of  subways  and  the  extension  of 
elevated  lines.

tion of  the  members  of  said

ate expenses  for  same  and  for 
any  report  or  reports  made  by

drawn  from  the  deposits  made 
by  the  Chicago  City  Railway 
Company  and  the  Chicago  Rail- 
ways Company  under  the  terms 
of  their  respective  ordinances, 
passed  on  February  11,  1907, 
being  those  deposits  commonly 
known  as  the  traction  fund.

shall  lake  cfTcct  and  be  in  force 
from  and  'after  its  passage  and 
duo  publication.';

Whereas,  The  said  Committee

To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council: 
Gentlemen— I  return  herewith 
without  my  approval  an  ordinance 
passed  by  your  Honorable  Body  at 
the  last  regular  meeting,  and  pub- 
lished on  pages  3030-3032  regard-

Chicago,  January  28,  1916.J 
Eon.      William     Hale      Thompson, 
Mayor: 

Dear  Sir — Referring  to  an  ordi- 
nance regarding  the  "Approval  of 
Plans  for  Buildings",  passed  by  the 
City  Council  January  24,  1916,  ap- 
pearing of  record  on  pages  3030-32 
of  said  Proceedings,  which  ordi- 
nance provides  among  other  things 
paragraph  "b",  thirteenth  line,  page 
3031,  as  follows: 

"They  (plans  and  drawings) 
shall  also  be  presented  to  the 
Fire  Marshal  for  approval  as  to 
S'tandpipes  and  all  firefighting 
apparatus,  where  same  are  re- 
quired." 

At  the  time  of  the  creation  of  the 
Bureau  of  Fire  Prevention  and  Pub- 
lic Safety  it  was  intended  that  the 
Fire  Marshal  should  be  relieved  of 
all  matters  of  inspection,  approval 
of  plans,  etc.,  and  that  this  work 
should  be  taken  care  of  by  this  Bu- 
reau. 

Therefore,  inasmuch  as  the  ordi- 
nance referred  to  and  passed  at  the 
last  meeting  of  the  City  Council 
would  also  require  the  approval  of 
plans  by  both  the  Fire  Marshal  and 
the  Chief  of  this  Bureau,  thereby 
delaying  and  complicating  matters 
unless  corrected,  I  would  recom- 
mend that  the  vote  by  which  the 
said  ordinance  was  passed  be  recon- 
sidered and  that  the  ordinance  be 
referred  back  to  the  committee  on 
city  hall  and  public  buildings  in 
order  that  the  Fire  Department 
may  have  an  opportunity  to  appear 
before  said  Committee  and  be  heard 
in  the  matter  before  said  ordinance 
finally  becomes  a  law. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Chief,  Bureau  of  Fire  Pre- 
vention and  Public  Safety.

have  made  to  Southern  Illinois,  it 
was  brought  to  my  attention  that 
the  mortal  remains  of  the  man  who 
made  the  original  survey  of  Chicago 
now  lie  in  an  unmarked  grave  in  the 
old  cemetery  at  Preston  in  Ran- 
dolph County,  the  first  county  or- 
ganized in  Illinois. 

One  hundred  years  before  Fort 
Dearborn  was  erected  at  the  mouth 
of  the  Chicago  River,  a  settlement 
named  Kaskaskia  had  been  eistab- 
lished  at  the  mouth  of  the  Kas- 
kaskia River.  It  was  from  this  set- 
tlement, and  its  Fort  Gage  as  a  base, 
that  George  Rogers  Clark,  with  his 
little  band  of  Virginia  troops,  dur- 
ing the  Revolutionary  War, 
snatched  the  great  Northwest  Ter- 
ritory from  the  British  and  brought 
it  into  the  Union. 

One  of  'the  men  who  was  active 
in  the  affairs  of  Illinois  before  Chi- 
cago was  put  upon  the  map  was 
James  Thompson,  who  emigrated  to 
this  State  from  South  Carolina  in 
1814;  taught  school  in  Eaiskaskia 
for  three  years  when  it  was  the 
State  Capital;  was  surveyor  for  the 
United  States  Government  for 
twenty  years,  during  which  time  he 
surveyed  the  site  of  Chicago;  com- 
manded a  company  in  Black 
Hawk's  War;  and  rounded  out  a 
busy  and  useful  life  as  Probate 
Judge  of  old  Randolph  County  from 
1831  to'  1848.  It  apparently  has 
been  a  matter  of  sheer  neglect  that 
his  grave  remains  unmarked  to  this 
day. 

I  have  heretofore  brought  this 
matter  to  the  attention  of  the  Chi- 
cago Historical  Society  with  a  view 
to  having  an  appropriate  monument 
erected  to  his  memory  in  the  little 
cemetery  at  Preston  to  mark  his 
resting  place,  but  I  was  informed  by 
Mr.  Clarence  A.  Burley,  the  Presi- 
dent, that  the  Society  has  no  funds 
which  it  can  use  for  this  laudable 
purpose. 

Tt,  would  be  very  appropriate,  it 
seems  to  me,  for  the  great  City  of 
Chiengo  to  do  honor  to  the  memory 
of  the  man  wlio  was  associated  as 


Mr.  Thompson  was  with  its  forma- 
tive period.  When  the  City  shall 
have  become  the  metropolis  of  the 
world,  it  would  be  a  reproach  to  our 
people  if  it  could  be  said  truthfully 
that  we  knowingly  permitted  the 
grave  of  the  man  who  originally  laid 
out  Chicago  to  remain  in  obscurity. 

Apart  from  considerations  of 
gratitude,  it  would  be  worth  while 
for  Chicago  to  erect  such  a  monu- 
ment, in  order  that  it  may  be  a 
memorial,  not  only  to  the  memory 
of  James  Thompson,  but  also  to  the 
historic  ties  which  bind  old  Ran- 
dolph and  Chicago,  ties  which 
stretch  back  to  the  days  of  Fort 
Gage  and  Fort  Dearborn,  and  which 
we  now  desire  so  much  to  perpet- 
uate in  friendly  intercourse  and 
commerce.  Let  us  overlook  no  op- 
portunity to  show  our  desire  to  pro- 
mote harmony  and  friendship  with 
every  portion  of  our  glorious  com- 
monwealth— glorious  in  its  history, 
glorious  in  its  men,  and  glorious  in 
its  magnificent  achievements, 

I  recommend  the  erection  of  such 
a  monument  by  the  City  of  Chicago, 
and  refer  the  matter  to  the  Coun- 
cil for  such  action  as  they  deem  ad- 
visable. • 

Yours  respectfully, 
(Signed)     Wm.  Hale  Thompson.

For  the  first  time  in  history  the 
Jewish  people  of  this  country  have 
asked  the  general  public  for  contri- 
butions' for  the  support  of  Jewish 
sufferers.  The  President  of  the

special    contributions    to    the    Red 

ross  Society  for  the  purpose  of 
liding  Jewish  sufferers  in  the  war 
^ones  in  Europe.  This  call  is  an  in- 
iication  of  the  dire  need  and  the 
errible  conditions  that  exist  among 
-he  millions  of  Jews  in  the  war- 
stricken  countries. 

Therefore,  I,  Wm.  Hale  Thomp- 
son, by  virtue  of  the  authority  in 
me     vested,     proclaim     Thursday,

butions through  the  Red  Cross  for 
the  purpose  of  adding  to  the  fund

sufferings  of  these  people.  I  ask 
that  those  citizens  of  our  city  who 
have  been  blessed  during  the  past 
year  and  who  are  enjoying  the  pros- 
perity and  blessings  of  peace  con- 
tribute as  liberally  as  their  means 
will  permit. 

Contributions   sent   to  this  office 
will  be  forwarded  to  the  Red  Cross

letter  in  substance  as  follows :  I 

"Gentlemen — Section  2650  y2  of  1' 
the  ordinance  of  Chicago  relating 
to  fenders  on  auto -cars  or 
trucks  used  and  operated  'for  the 
purpose  of  conveying  therein 
bundles,  parcels,  baggage  ^  or 
wares,  merchandise  or  other  sim- 
ilar articles'  provides  that  such 
fenders  shall  be  'of  such  design 
las  shall  meet  the  requirements 
for  uniform  tests  to  be  made  un- 
der the  direction  of  the  clerical 
mechanical  and  inspection  bureau 
of  the  Department  of  Police  and 
shall  be  approved  as  efficient  by 
the  General  Superintendent  of

"The  report  of  this  bureau  as^ 
to  the  tests  made  under  its  direc- 
tion with  respect  to  your  fender 
is  on  file  and  you  have  a  copy  of 
the  same. 

"The  Corporation  Counsel  ad- 
vises me  that  the  ordinance,  if 
valid,  does  not  impose  on  me  the 
duty  of  deciding  whether  the  de- 
sign of  your  fender  meets  the  re-^ 
quirements  for  uniform  tests 
provided  for  in  the  ordinance  anc 
therefore  I  express  no  opmior 
with  respect  to  such  design. 

"But  the  Corporation  Counse 
advises  me  further  that  the  or- 
dinance, assuming  it  to  be  valid 
seems  to  impose  on  me  the  dut: 
of  approving  or  disapproving  tn* 
fenders  as  to  efficiency;  and 
therefore,  I  beg  to  advise  yoi 
that  I  am  unable  to  approve  you

The       following       proclamation, 
which  was  ordered  placed  on  file : 
Office  of  the  Mayor,] 
Chicago,  February  4,  IQlG.f 
Public-spirited    citizens    of   Chi- 
cago have  regarded  the  welfare  of 
our  boys  as  a  question  worthy  of 
deepest    study    and    consideration, 
and  have  expressed  their  sincerity 
in  numerous  constructive  and  help- 
ful movements  designed  to  aid  the 
boy  to  become  a  worthy  citizen. 

Expressions  of  misdirected  boy 
energy  that  have  taken  form  in 
misdemeanors  and  crimes  have  , 
called  attention  to  the  growing  need 
of  proper  supervision  of  the  in- 
fluences surrounding  the  youth  of ' 
Chicago.  That  the  character  of  the 
boy  of  to-day  determines  the  caliber 
of  the  citizen  of  the  future  and 
that  the  good  boy  is  the  best  asset 
of  the  community  cannot  wisely  be 
doubted. 

Therefore,  T,  Wm.  Hale  Thomp- 
son, by  virtue  of  the  authority  m 
me  vested,  proclaim  Sunday,  Febru- 
arv  13th,  as  "Save-the-Boy  Sun- 
day", and  do  call  upon  the  churches, 
organizations  and  private  citizens 
of  the  city  properly  to  observe  it  b> 
suitable  exercises  as  a  day  dedicated 
to  the  welfare  of  the  youth  of  t.hi- 
cago.

an  order  of  October  4,  1915,  pub- 
lished on  pages  1545  and  1546,  di- 
recting the  Corporation  Counsel  and 
the  Commissioner  of  Public  Service 
to  advise  your  Honorable  Body  as  to 
the  steps  necessary  to  compel  and 
bring  about  the  construction  of 
tracks  on  111th  street  from  Vin- 
cennes  avenue  to  Stewart  avenue 
and  on  South  State  street  from  81st 

^  street  to  95th  street,  in  accordance 

;  with  ordinances  passed  by  your  body 

at  a  prior  date,   said  tracks  to  be 

constructed  and  in  operation  on  or 

before  December  31,  1915. 

We  beg  to  advise  your  Honorable 

i  Body  that,  as  a  result  of  a  con- 
ference held  by  the  Corporation 
Counsel    and   the   Commissioner  of 

;  Public  Service,  in  accordance  with 
your  direction,  we  find  that  the  or- 
dinance requiring  track  construction 


on  111th  street  is  of  questionable 
validity,  as  the  act  of  the  legislature 
of  the  State  of  Illinois,  which  an- 
nexed this  ~  territory  to  the  City  of 
Chicago,  was  not  retroactive  in  ef- 
fect. This  would  tend  to  invalidate 
the  ordinance  because  of  questions 
relating  to  frontage  consents.  We, 
therefore,  recommend  that  no  suit 
be  started  under  this  ordinance  but 
that  a  new  ordinance  be  drafted  to 
secure  the  track  extension  on  this 
street. 

In  regard  to  the  State  street  ex- 
tension, we  have  concluded  that  the 
City  is  in  proper  position  to  start 
suit  to  enforce  its  rights  under  the 
ordinances  already  passed  and  we 
await  your  instructions  in  this  re- 
gard. 

Very  truly  yours,

Hon.     Lewis     D.    Sitts,     Chairman, 
Committee  on  Gas,  Oil  and  Elec- 
tric Light,  City  Council,  City  Hall, 
Chicago: 

DEAR  SIR— Referring  to  the  reso- 
lution of  the  Committee  on  Gas,  Uii 
and  Electric  Light  requesting  me 
as  counsel  for  the  bondholders  of 
the  Chicago  Tunnel  Ciompany,  to 
furnish  the  Committee  with  such 
information  as  the  Company  has 
touching  transactions  m  the  Com- 
pany's bonds,  T  beg  to  advise  you  as 
follows : 

All  of  the  bonds  of  the  Chicago 
Tunnel  Company  are  owned  by  and 
deposited  to  secure  the  bonds  of  (^ 
Chicago  TItilities  Company,  it  is  tii( 
honds  of  the  Chicago  Utilities  Com- 
pany that  wei-e  sold  to  investors  in 
101'i  and  iOl!)  and  that  are  now 
dealt  in. 

\t  I  he  Mm.'  of  the  issuance  of  the 
outstanding  bonds  of  the  Chicago 
Utilities  Company  m  101?  and  lOH. 


the  Company  endeavored  to  make 
an  accurate  record  of  persons  wio 
subscribed  for  the  bonds  and  to 
whom  said  bonds  were  sent.  But 
It  that  time  many  of  the  bonds  were 
sent  to  bankers  and  brokers,  whom 

turn  distributed  them  to  their 
clients,  so  that  the  list  made^by  the 

Company  was  not,  and  from  tne 
ve^\ature  of  the  situation  could 
not  be,  absolutely  rehable. 

Since   the   original   issue   of   the 
bonds,    the    Company    ^^^s   had    no 
means  of  making  an  accurate  li^to^ 
the  bondholders,  but  has  kept  such 
record  with  respect  thereto  as  could 
be  compiled  from  the  coupons  and 
certificates  sent  in  by  holders  of  the 
bonds  in  connection  with  the  federal 
income  tax  returns.    These  retuims 
.are  S  many  respects  not  sufficien  ly 
accurate  to  make  the  Company  s  li.t 
complete.     This    is"  necessarily    so 
Suse  of  the  fact  that  bankers  and 
brokers  frequently  send  m  certifi- 
cates in  connection  with  income  Ux 
returns  in  their  own  names  and  not 
In  the  names  of  the  customers  for 
whom  such  bonds  are  really  held. 
C  the  same  reason  such  records  a 
the  company  has  been  able  to  make 
from  the  coupons  sent  m  from  time 
to  time  for  collection  are  inaccurate 
because     such     coupons     are    ire- 
quenUy  Presented  for  collection  by 
bankers   and  brokers   without   dis 
closing    the    names     of  /he^    rea^ 
owners.     Further,   no   interest  has 
been  paid  for  two  years. 

Notwithstanding  these  diffuHilties 
in  compiling  an  origmal  fj^^^^^^ 
record  and  of  maintaining  later  an 
accurate  record  of  the  bondhode  ^ 
the  Company  has,  to  .he  be  t  of  its  | 
ability  kept  track  of  its  bondholders 
tfLs  a  list  which  is  as  near 
accurate  as  could  be  mad(^  nndor 
the  circumstances. 

In  the  month  of  November,  l^l^ 
some  time  prior  to  the  tune  ;^  ^^

Oil    and    Electric    Light,    touching 
transactions  in  the  Company's  bonds, 
the  writer,  as  the  result  of  a  con- 
ference between  him  and  the  Hon. 
Walter    L.    Fisher,    prepared    and 
caused  the  Company  to  send  out  a 
circular  to  the  holders  of  the  Series 
A   bonds    of   the    Chicago    Utilities 
Company,  as  disclosed  by  its  records, 
requesting  them  toi  advise  the  Com- 
pany whether  they  still   owned   or 
represented    the    Company's    bonds, 
and  if  so,  how  many  of  such  bonds 
they    owned    or    represented,    and 
also  requesting   information  m    to 
whether  (or  not  any  of  such  bond- 
holders had  sold  any  of  Xheir  bonds 
within  the  past  year,  and  if  so,  the 
dates  of  the  sales  made.    No  circu- 
lars  were   sent    to   bondholders    of 
record  residing  in  foreign  countries, 
nor  to  any  of  the  owners  of  scrip. 
The  replies  received  by  the  Com- 
pany show  the  following  facts : 

On  the  books  of  the  Company 
there  are  of  record  639  owners  of 
bonds  residing  in  this  country  and 
owning  bonds  of  the  par  value  of 
$4,739,000.  In  foreign  countries 
there  are  bondholders  owning  bonds 
of  the  par  value  of  $104,000,  and 
there  are  scrip  holders  owning  bonds 
of  the  par  value  of  $181,900. 

To  each  lof  the  639  bondholders 
residing  in  this  country  the  above- 
mentioned  circular  was  mailed.  The 
company  has  received  replies  from 
455  bondholders,  owning  ba*ids  of 
the  par  value  of  $4,205,000.  In 
other  words,  the  company  has  re- 
ceived replies  from  bondholders 
owning  88.7%'  of  the  par  value  of 
bonds  held  in  the  United  States,  and 
has  received  no  replies;  from  bond- 
holders owning  11.3%.  Of  this 
11.3%,  banks  representing  of  record 
5.6%  have  written  saying  that  they 
have  no  record  of  the  bondholders 
whom  they  represented  in  transac- 
tions on  prior  occasions. 

From  the  responses  received  it 
appears  that  88%  of  thb  bondholders 
>f  record  still  own  their  bonds  and 
'/lO  of  1%  of  the  bondholders  of 


record  have  sold  their  bonds  within 
the  year,  and  that  no  responses  have 
been  received  from  11.3%  of  the 
bondholders  of  record. 

If  the  same  percentages  derived 
from  the  information  received  from 
the  bondholders  who  have  responded 
apply  to  the  bondholders  who  have 
not  responded,  it  would  appear  that 
99.2%  of  the  bondholders  of  record 
still  own  their  bonds  and  that  8/10 
of  1%  of  the  bondiholdersi  of  record 
have  disposed  of  their  bonds  within 
the  year. 

For  thei  punpose  of  carrying  this 
analysis    stijl    further,   bondholders 
of  record  in  Chicago  and  its  vicinity 
have  been  segregated  from  the  other 
bondholders    and    considered    as    a 
unit    by    themselves.      From    this 
calculation  it  appears  that  99.9%  of 
the  bondholders  of  record  residing 
m    Chicago   and   vicinity   still    own 
their  bonds   and   that   1/10  of   1% 
have  sold   their  bonds   within   the 
year.    When  the  last  records  of  the 
Company  were  made  up,  there  were 
only    105    bondholders    residing   in 
Chicago  and  vicinity,  and  they  held 
bonds  of  the  par  value  of  $1,147,000. 
We   have  received   responses   from 
such  bondholders  owning  bonds  of 
the  par  value  of  $1,034,000.     Mail 
has  been  returned  as  undelivered  to 
holders    of    $1,000    of    bonds,    and 
banks      representing      bondholders 
owning  bonds  of  the  par  value  of 
$83,000  advised  the   Company   that 
they    cannot    trace    their    original 
customers.     Applying  the  percent- 
ages derived  from  the  responses  re- 
ceived to  all  of  the  bonds  outstand- 
ing m  Chicago   and   its  vicinity,   it 
would  appear  that  bonds  of  the  par 
value  of  $1,147  have  changed  hands 
in   Chicago  and   its  vicinity  within 
the  past  twelve  months. 

It  may  be  that  actual  transactions 
covering  bonds  of  a  larger  amount 
have  occurred.  The  same  bonds 
frequently  change  hands  a  number 
of  times.  But,  as  the  result  of  the 
investigation  made  and  the  analysis 
of  the  answers  received,  I  am  con-

Minority  Report. 


In  connection  with  the  foregoing 
report,  Aid.  Merriam  presented  a  re- 
port of  a  minority  of  said  commit- 
tee   and  moved  that  said  report  be 
published    and    that    consideration 
thereof  be  deferred. 
The  motion  prevailed. 
The   following    is    said   minority 
report : 

CHICAGO,  February  7,  1916. 
To  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  in  City  Council 
Assembled: 

The  undersigned,  being  a  niinority 
of  the  Committee  on  Gas,  Oil  and 
Electric  Light,  to  whom  was  referred 
an  ordinance  amending  the  ordi- 
nance of  the  Chicago  Tunnel  Com- 
pany for  the  p\irpose  of  permitting 
the  sale  of  the  property  of  the  said 
Company,  respectfully  submit  the 
following  report: 

Tn  1899  a  franchise  for  a  period 
of  thirty  years  was  granted  to  the 
Illinois  Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Companv  for  the  purpose  of  operat- 
ing a  lino  of  conduits  and  wires. 
The  construction  of  the  largo  tun- 
nel now  occupied  by  the  Illinois 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company 


was  begun  without  the  authority  of 
the  City  of  Chicago  and  was  secretly 
prosecuted  for  some  time  before  it 
was  discovered  that  the  work  was 
going  on.    It  then  appeared  that  the 
records  of  the  City  Council  had  been 
altered  in  such  a  manner  as  to  show 
that  a  permit  for  this  work  had  been 
granted  by  the  City  of  Chicago.    In- 
dictments were  brought  m  this  case 
■  but  no  conviction  was  secured  owing 
to   the  fact  that  it  was  held  that 
alterations  of  the  records  of  the  City 
Council  did  not  constitute  technical 
forgery.  This  ordinance  was  amend- 
ed in  1903  and  again  in  1909. 

The  grant  of  the  telephone  fran- 
chise was  secured  because  of  three 
principal  inducements  to  the  City: 

1      That  any  sale  or  agreement  to 
restrict  competition  would  result  m 
the   forfeiture  of  the  plant  to  the 
City.   "It  shall  be  expressly  the  con- 
dtition  of  this  grant  that  if  the  Illi- 
nois Telephone  and  Telegraph  Com- 
pany  or    any   of   its   successors   or 
assigns  shall  either  sell  out  to  or 
enter  into  any  agreement  with  any 
existing  telephone  company  or  any 
of   its   successors   or   assigns   doing 
business    in    the    City    of    Chicago, 
which    agreement    would  >  tend    to 
make  competition  inoperative,  this 
ordinance  shall  become  null  and  void 
and  the  plant  of  the  said  company, 
together   with   the   conduits    wirea 
and  poles  then  in  the  streets  be- 
longing to  the  said  company  shall  oe 
forfeited  to  the  city." 

9  That  in  case  of  a  failure  to 
maintain  a  telephone  exchange  serv- 
ing 2,000  (later  amended  to  reaa 
20,000)  bona  fide  subscribers  Uie 
company  should  forfeit  to  the  City 
of  Chicago  $50,000..  together  with  its 
plant,  wires,  poles  and  conduits. 

3  That  lower  rates  for  telephone 
service  would  be  given  to  the  sub- 
scribers, namely  $85.00  per  annum 
for  business  'phones  and  $50.00  per 
annum  for  residence  'phones,  un- 
limited service.  '

equipment    superior    service    wouW

be  provided  to  telephone  subscribers 
in  Chicago. 

5.  The  payment  of  compensation 
to  the  City  of  Chicago  of  a  percent- 
age of  the  gross  receipts  ranging 
from  3  to  7  per  cent. 

In  1903  the  ordinance  was  amend- 
ed   in    a    number    of    particulars, 
among  the  more  important  of  these 
-were  the  following: 

(a)  That  at  the  end  of  the  fran- 
chise period  the  tunnels  should  be- 
come the  absolute  property  of  the 
-City  of  Chicago. 

(b)  The  City  was  given  the  right 
to  purchase  the  plant  of  the  com- 
pany under  certain  conditions. 

(c)  The  number  of  telephones  to 
be  installed  was  fixed  at  20,000  m- 
stead  of  2,000. 

(d)  It  was  provided  that  the  city 
should  receive  20  per  cent  of  all 
gross  receipts  derived  by  the  com- 
pany from  the  rental  of  space  in 
its  tunnels. 

The  ordinance  was  amended  in 
1909,  and  the  time  within  which  20,- 

000  telephones  might  be  installed 
was  extended  to  June  l-st,  1911,  in- 
stead of  October  8,  1909. 

The  recent  history  of  the  case, 
briefly  stated,  is  as  follows: 

On  July  2nd,  1913,  an  ordinance 
was  introduced  in  the  City  Council 
amending  the  ordinance  of  the  Au- 
tomatic Telephone  Company  by 
striking  out  the  provision  prohibit- 
ing sale  to  a  competing  company.  On 
July  14th,  1913,  before  the  Gas,  Oil 
and  Electric  Light  Committee,  the 
attorney  for  the  company  stated,  that 
no  price  for  the  sale  had  been  fixed 
and  that  ^no  appraisal  of  the  plant 
had  been  made.  On  July  24th,  1913 
a  letter  was  submitted  by  the  com- 
pany stating  that  the  proposed  pur- 
chase price  of  the  property  was  $6,- 
300  000  and  that  the  sale  was  to  be 
made  to  the  American  Telephone  & 
felegraph  Company.  By  direction 
ot  the  Gas,  Oil  and  Electric  Light 
<_ommittee  the  City  Electrician,  Ray 

1  aimer,  on  December  4th,  1913    re- 


ported on  the  valuation  of  the  tele- 
phone property,  which  be  estimated 
to  be  from  $1,117,100  to  $1,875,500. 
On  March  12th,   1914,  the  Gas,  Oil 
and  Electric  Light  Committee  con- 
sidered the  question  of  whether  the 
Automatic  Telephone  Company  had 
in  actual  operation  the  20,000  sub- 
scribers  as   required   by  the   ordi- 
nance.    On  October  2nd,   1914,   the 
Corporation    Counsel    rendered    an 
opinion  adverse  to  the  City's  right 
to  forfeit.   On  October  5th,  1914,  the 
City  Council  passed  an  order  for  a 
check  on  the  number  of  subscribers 
and  ordered  the  Corporation  Counsel 
to  proceed  to  forfeit  the  property  of 
the  company  in  the  event  that  there 
were   less   than  20,000   subscribers. 
On  November  19th,  1914,  a  citizens' 
committee   requested   the    right    to 
supervise  the  count  then  being  con- 
ducted by  Commissioner  Ferry,  of 
'the  Department  of  Public  Service. 
On  November  25th,  1914,  this  right 
was  denied  in  the  Committee  by  a 
vote  of  nine  to  four,  but  on  Novem- 
ber 30th,  1914,  this  action  was  re- 
considered and  the   Chairman,   au- 
thorized by  the  Committee,  appoint- 
ed a  committee  of  three  citizens  to 
supervise   the   count   of   the  Auto- 
matic telephones.   On  December  3rd 
1914,   Mr.  Samuel  Et'telson,   on  be- 
half of  the  Telephone  Com,pany,  ad- 
mitted   that   the    company   did   not 
have   20,000   subscribers.      On   Mav 
17th,    1915,    the   City   Council  by  a 
vote  of  58  to  8  passed  a  resolution 
directing  the  Corporation  Counsel  to 
begin  suit  to  forfeit  the  franchise. 
This  order  was  vetoed  by  the  Mayor 
May  24th,  1915,  and  the  recommen- 
dation made  that  a  forfeiture  ordi- 
nance be  drafted  by  the  Corporation 
Counsel  of  the  City  of  Chicago     On 
June    14th,    1915,    the    Corporation 
Counsel    submitted    two    ordinances 
which   were   referred   to   the  Com- 
mittee   on    Gas,    Oil    and    Electric 
Light.    Shortly  after  this  Mr.  Walter 
L.  Fisher  was  appointed  as  special 
counsel  for  the  Mayor  in  this  case. 
Ex-Judge    Stephen    A.    Foster    was 
chosen  as  counsel  for  the  Gas,  Oil

*Based  on  offer  of  Automatic  Electric  Company  with  corrections  for

The  offer  made  by  the  American 
Telephone  &  Telegraph  Company  for 
this  property,  as  stated  to  the  Oom- 
mittee,  was  $6,300,000.  How  this 
figure  was  reaohed  has  never  been 
explained  to  the  Committee.  Mr. 
W.  C.  Kingsbury,  vice  president  of 
the  A.  T.  &  T.,  through  whom  the 
Siale  was  negotiated,  appeared  before 
your  Committee  but  was  unable  to 
give  any  satisfactory  explanation  of 
the  commercial  basis  upon  which 
this  price  was  fixed.  In  view  of  the 
numerous  valuations  made  by  dif- 
ferent engineers  the  figure  $6,300,- 
000  remains  a  mystery. 

RIGHT  OF  THE  CITY  TO  THE  PLANT  OF 
THE  TELEPHONE  COMPANY. 

The  ordinance  under  which  the 
Automatic  Telephone  Company  re- 
ceived its  franchise  clearly  stipu- 
lates that  in  the  event  of  the  failure 
of  the  company  to  construct  and 
maintain  a  system  serving  20,000 
subscribers  the  property  shall  be 
forfeited  to  the  City  of  Chicago  as 


above  stated.     "Said  Illinois  Tele- 
phone &  Telegraph  Company  shall 
within    five    years    from    the    date 
hereof  construct  and  ;have  in  opera- 
tion a  telephone   exchange  serving 
2,000     (20,000)    telephones  of  bona 
fide    subscribers    under    this    ordi- 
nance."  (Section  5,  ord.  1899.)     "If 
said  company,  its  successors  and  as- 
signs, shall  fail  to  construct,  equip 
and  install  a  telephone  system  un- 
der the  terms  of  said  ordinance  of 
February  20th,    1899,   adequate   for 
the  service  of  20,000  bona  fide  sub- 
scribers within  five  years  from  the 
date  of  the  going  into  effect  of  this 
ordinance  or  at  any  time  after  said 
five  years  the  said  company,  its  suc- 
cessors and  assigns,  shall  not  have  in 
operation,  or  shall  cease  to  operate 
telephone  lines  serving  20,000  bona 
fide  telephone  subscribers,  then,  in 
which  said  case,  the  same  company, 
its  successors  and  assigns,  shall  for- 
feit to  the  city  all  rights  acquired 
under   said  ordinance  of  February 
20th,   1899,  together  with   its  plant 
and   equipment   for   telephone   ser-

vice,  and  shall  be  under  lobligation 
to  furnisb  the  city  without  charge 
all  space  in  any  and  all  of  its  tun- 
nels and  conduits  necessary  for  the 
carrying  on  of  said  telephone  busi- 
ness." (Section  11,  ordinance  of 
1903  lamending  Section  5  of  or- 
dinance of  1899.) 

This  was  one  consideration  upon 
which  the  ordinance  was  originally 
granted  and  clearly  signifies,  in  view 
of  the  admission  that  the  company 
does  not  have  the  required  number 
of   'iphones,   that  the  plant   of   the 
Automatic  Telephone  Company  be- 
longs to  the  people  of  Chicago.    An 
elaborate    legal  opinion   upon   this 
point  was  rendered  by  ex- Judge  Ste- 
phen A.  Foster,  special  counsel  for 
the  Gas,  Oil  and  Electric  Light  Com- 
mittee.  The  following  extracts  from 
Judge  Foster's  opinion  indicate  the 
right  of  the  city  in  this  case : 

In  answer  to  the  question  as  to 
whether  the  City  Council  can  legally 
forfeit  the  telephone  franchise  and 
telephone  property  of  the  Chicago 
Tunnel  Company,  Judge  Fosters 
conclusion  is  "That  it  can  so  forfeit 
said  telephone  franchise  and  tele- 
phone property". 

In  reply  to  the  question  "What 
property  will  the  city  get  in  the 
event  of  the  forfeiture?"  Judge  Fos- 
ter's reply  was :  "The  city  will  get 
the  plant  and  equipment  of  the  com- 
pany for  telephone  purposes." 

Judge  Foster  held  in  reference  to 
the    first   question,    "That   the    law 
will  construe  the  grant  of  a  fran- 
chise or  license  by  a  municipality  in 
favor     of     the     municipality     and 
against  the  grantee.    This  principle 
of  strict  construction  of  municipal 
grant   has  been  recognized  by   the 
courts  of  all  jurisdictions  and  in  a 
preat   variety    of   cases."     Further, 
"That  the  forfeiture  clause  of  the 
ordinance  now  under  consideration 
was  inserted  for  tlie  purpose  of  se- 
curing the  construction  by  the  Chi- 
f-apo  Tunnel  Company  or  its  prede- 
rossor  of  a  public  work,  to  wit,  the 
Mutnmntic  telephone  system,  and  th(^ 


maintenance  of  competitive  tele- 
phone service  is  self-evident.  Public 
interest  was  directly  involved  in  se- 
curing the  carrying  out  of  this  pur- 
pose by  the  grantee." 

Judge  Foster  further  said  that  the 
interpretation  offered  by  counsel  for 
the  telephone  company  of  bona  fide 
subscribers  was  a  strained  and  vio- 
lent construction  of  the  language  of 
the  ordinance. 

Referring  to  the  alleged  inability 
of  the  company  to  perform  the  con- 
ditions of  the  ordinance  Judge  Fos- 
ter said:     "This  company  chose  to 
accept  a  license  'from  the  city  which, 
under  the  authorities,  constituted  a 
contract  between  the  company  and 
the  city,  and  the  mere  fact  that  such, 
contract  contained  provisions  oner- 
ous or  difficult  of  performance  can- 
not excuse  the  company  if  it  seeks 
to  continue  to   exercise  the  rights 
and  privileges  which  were  granted 
to   it   on   these    express   condition? 
with  which  the  company  has  failed 
to  comply." 

Concluding    Judge     Foster     said 
(page  44)  :  "It  would  therefore  seem 
to  me  that  the  case  presented  to  this 
committee  is  not  one  of  a  going  con- 
cern seeking  to   carry  out  all  the 
terms   and  conditions  of  the  ordi- 
nances and  to  comply  with  the  obli- 
gations  thereby  imposed,  but  rather 
of  a  company  which  has  m  effect 
abandoned  all  effort  to  comply  with 
the  terms  of  the  ordinance,  has  ad- 
mitted the  failure  of  its  telephone 
undertaking     and      has     definitely 
abandoned   the   purpose  for  which 
this  original  ordinance  was  grantea 
—that  is,  securing  telephone  compe- 
tition in  the  City  of  Chicago."  . 
Judge  Foster  further  submitted  a     i 
draft  of  forfeiture  ordinance  differ- 
ing in  many  important  Particulars 
from    the   draft   submitted    by    thc 
Corporation  Counsel  of  the  City  on 
the  order  of  the  City  Council. 

Til  is  able  opinion  of  Judge  Foster 
is  further  substantiated  by  the  facl 
t*hat  the  receivers  of  the  company 
in   their   petition   for   authority  to

raise  $3,000,000  appeared'  before  the 
United  States  Circuit  Court  and  de- 
clared that  unless  authority  were 
given  to  them  by  the  court  to  bor- 
row sufficient  money  to  put  in 
operation  a  system  actually  serving 
20,000  subscribers,  the  property  of 
the  company  would  be  forfeited  to 
the  city.  The  receiver  said  "That 
it  was  necessary  to  secure  such  ad- 
ditional bona  fide  subscribers  as 
shall  be  necessary  to  fully  comply 
with  the  requirements  of  the  city 
ordinance  of  June  28th,  1909."  In 
the  agreement  with  the  contractor 
for  the  development  of  the  plant  one 
provision  was,  "To  extend  such  plant 
until  there  shall  be  20,000  bona  fide 
subscribers  in  accordance  with  the 
ordinance  of  June  28th,  1909.  *  *  * 
"and  to  have  for  the  owners  20,000 
subscribers  on  June  1st,  1911." 

This  document,  read  before  the 
Committee  by  Judge  Foster,  clearly 
shows  it  was  the  understanding  of 
the  receivers  of  the  company  that 
the  language  of  the  ordinance  meant 
e:^actly  what  it  said,  namely,  that 
unless  20,000  subscribers  were  actu- 
ally connected  with  and  served  by 
the  automatic  system'  the  property 
would  revert  to  the  city. 

Mr.  Walter  L.  Fisher,  special 
counsel  for  the  Mayor,  also  rendered 
an  opinion  upon  the  rights  of  the 
city  to  forfeit  the  telephone  rights 
and  property  of  the  company.  He 
did  not  reach,  however,  any  definite 
conclusion.  Mr.  Fisher  said  (page 
35)  :  "Starting,  as  I  do,  with  the 
opmion  that  the  natural  meaning  of 
the  words  'serve  2,000  telephones  of 
bona  fide  subscribers'  means  having 
the  subscribers  and  serving  them, 
,  nevertheless,  I  find  myself  unable 
to  state  that  considering  Section  5 
as  a  whole,  the  courts  would  say 
that  this  was  the  only  reasonable 
construction  of  its  language,  and 
that  they  would  not  seize  upon  the 
language  of  the  proviso  as  indicat- 
ing another  basis  of  construction 
(not  in  itself  unreasonable)  which 
they  would  adopt,  in  order  to  adopt 
a   forfeiture,    as   to    the  justice   or 


equity  of  which  they  were  in  doubt. 
/  do  not  say  they  would  do  so;  I  can- 
not say  they  would  not." 

Mr.   Fisher   was    of   the    opinion, 
which  Judge  Foster  did  not  share, 
that  the  outcome  of  the  forfeiture 
proceedings  might  be  determined  by 
the  purpose  to  which  the  city  pro- 
posed to  devote  the  plant.    He  said 
(page  46) :  "The  decision  of  the  re- 
sulting litigation  either  in  law  or  in 
equity  will  be  greatly  influenced,  if 
not    determined,   by   the    extent   to 
which  the  Chicago  Ttinnel  Company 
upon  the  one  hand  can  show  that  it 
is  proceeding  in  good  faith  to  con- 
struct and  extend  its  telephone  sys- 
tem and  plant  and  to  secure  bona 
fide  subscribers  and  by  the  extent  to 
which   the  city  on  the  other  hand 
can  show  that  this  forfeiture  is  being 
sought  for  a  real  public  interest." 
The  opinion  rendered  by  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  and  by  various  at- 
torneys   for    the    Automatic    Tele- 
phone   Company    was    lagainst    the 
right  of  the  city  in  any  forfeiture 
proceeding.    Some  of  the  objections 
turned  upon  questions  of  the  inter- 
pretation of  the  ordinance.     It  was 
contended  that  the  phrase  "serving 
20,000  bona  fide  subscribers"  might, 
and  therefore  should  be  interpreted 
to,  mean  "passive  readiness  to  act  as 
well  as  consummate  action".    It  was 
'argued  that  the  intention  of  the  or- 
dinance was  to  require  the  company 
to    supply    facilities    adequate    for 
more   than   20,000   subscribers    and 
solicit  them  to  take  that  service,  and 
that  if  the  subscribers  could  not  be 
secured,  the  fault  did  not  lie  with 
the  company. 

The  opinion  of  Schuyler,  Ettelson 
&  Weinfeld,  given  on  May  11,  1914, 
declared:  "Service  does  not  always 
mean  positive  .action,  ibut  may  mean 
readiness  and  willingness  to  perform 
action.  This  idea  is  expressed  by 
the  Poet  Milton  in  Sonnet  XX  "On 
His  Blindness". 

"His   state 
Is  kingly,    thousands   of  Ms   bidding   speed 
And  post  o'er  land  and  ocean  without  rest ; 
They  also  serve  who  only  stand  and  wait."

At  certain  ipoints  in  their  argu-

seemed  to  ^accuse  the  entire  city  of 
being  in  a  conspiracy  to  (prevent  the

whose  benefit  this  condition  was  in- 
serted     (whatever    meaning     such 
condition  m'ay  have)  by  refusing  to 
accept    in    sufficient    numbers    the 
offer  of  the  company  to  supply  the 
service." 

The    Qpinion    of    Mr.    Ralph    M. 
Shaw,  lof  July  8th,  1915,  concluded 
Opage    12)     as    follows:     "Waiving 
technical  construction  and  interpre- 
tation of  the  language  used  in  the 
ordinance    which    in    a    law    suit 
would  not  be  waived  and  waiving 
other  principles  of  law  favorable  to 
the    grantee  which    in    a   law   suit 
would  not  be  waived,  in  my  judg- 
ment it  inevitably  follows  from  the 
principle    illustrated    in    this    case 
(referring    to    "North    New    Jersey 
Street     Railway     Company    versus 
The  Inhabitants  of  the  Township  of 
South    Orange";    43    Atlantic,    53) 
that    no    court   would    permit    the 
sequestration  of  the  telephone  plant 
and  property  of  the  tunnel  company 
merely  because  of  an  alleged  breach 
of  contract  caused  by  the  fact  that 
the  citizens  of  Chicago  are  unwilling 
to  take  advantage  of  its  service. 

COMPENSATION. 


The  iproposed  sale  ordinance  pro- 
vides for  a  payment  of  $500,000  by 
the  telephone  company  to  the  City 
of  Chicago  as  compensation  for  the 
sale  of  the  Automatic  Company's 
property  to  the  Chicago  Telephone 
Company.  The  way  in  which  tlie 
figure  $500,000  was  reached  was  not 
made  clear  to  the  committee.  If  it 
is  intended  to  measure  the  value  of 
\ho   citv's    forfeiture    claim    against 


the  company,  $500,000  is  of  course 
wholly    inadequate.    According    to 
the   final   statement  of   Mr.    Miller, 
the  value  of  the  plant  is  $2,236,192. 
According  to  the  statement  of  Mr. 
Sunny  the  value  of  the  property  is 
$4,872,000.    Assuming  a  certain  de- 
ipreciation    during    the    course    of 
litigation   necessary    to    secure   the 
property,  the  figure  of  $500,000  is 
still  wholly  inadequate  as  a  measure 
of  the  city's  financial  interest  in  this 
case.    If  Mr.  Miller's  revised  opinion 
is    correct   the  city  will   secure   a 
property  worth  $2,236,192  less  the 
depreciation  incident  to  the  period 
of  litigation,   while  if  Mr.  Sunny  s 
statement  is   correct  t^e   city  will 
secure  a  property  worth  $4,872,400 
less    depreciation    incident   to    tne 
period  of  litigation.     Whether  the 
city   choosies   to   operate  the  plant 
itself  or  to  establish  some  system  ol 
inter-connection  with   the   Chicago 
Telephone  Company  or  to  sell  the 
property  to  the  United  States  Gov- 
ernment  or  to  scrap  the  plant,  m 
any  event,  $500,000  is  far  below  the 
city's  interest  in  the  property. 

Mr  Kempster  Miller's  estimate  of 
the  salvage  or  scrap  value  alone  of 
!?^750,000  to  a  million  dollars  m  casn, 
was  based  upon  an  estimate  of  the 
total    value    of    $1,141,594.      This 
omits    items    of  value   not   covered 
under  "junk  valuation".    The  valne 
nf  the  plant  >a^s  subsequently  m- 
cLaLdV  him  to  $2^36,192.    T^^^ 
value  lof  the  plant  to  the  city  should 
also  be  increased  and  would  amount 
to  from  a  million  ^and  a  half  to  two 
millions    of    dollars    even    on    the 
Miller  valuation.    On  the  basis  of  a 
value  of  $4,872,400  the  value  to  the 
city      would     be      correspondmgly 
greater. 

As  an  offset  to  the  $500,000  com- 
pensation received,  the  city  loses  the 
following  items: 

1     The  city's  right  to  20  per  cent 

of  the  rental  of  space  in  the  tuiinois 

and  conduits  of  the  tunnel  eompan)

pensation  based  upon  three  per  cent 
of  the  gross  receipts  of  the  tele- 
phone system  about  $8,000  a  year, 
the  capitalized  value  of  $8,000  at 
four  per  cent  being  $250,000.  The 
income  of  the  city  fmm  the  auto- 
matic telephone  system  was  as  fol- 
lows : 

1913 $10,749.22 

1914 8,239.09 

3.     At   the   next   rate   regulation 
there  will  be  added  to  the  capitali- 
zation   of    the    Chicago    Telephone 
Company,   $1,500,000,    on  which   et 
the  rate  of  7  iper  cent  (the  rate  used 
in  the  rate  regulation  of  1913)    an 
allowance  of   $105,000   per    annum 
may  be  made.     It  is  by  no  means 
certain  that  all  of  this  property  will 
be    employed    for    telephone    pur- 
poses.   On  the  contrary,  the  follow- 
ing items  are  problematical : 
(a^   Tunnel  space  for  meet- 
ing the  requirements  of 
regular  telephone  growth  $   96,000 
(b)   Tunnel   space   for   fa- 
cilitating    disposal     and 
maintenance  of  the  tele- 
phone     cables      during 
rapid      transit      subway 

construction 119,560 

(c^  Tunnel  space  for  serv- 
ing in  lieu  of  present 
conduit  actually  de- 
stroyed by  subway  con- 
struction        92,460 

(d)  Tunnel  space  for  ad- 
ditional river  crossing..      89,000 


$  397,020 


This  is  increased  by  fifteen  per 
cent  added  for  overhead  loading, 
making  a  total  of  $456,573  allowed 
for  the  possible  use  of  tunnel 
space.  Whether  this  space  is  actu- 
ally used  or  not,  the  telephone 
company  will  be  allowed  $31,000  a 
vear  return  on  this  amount  which 
lecreases  yearly  one-thirteenth. 
The  ordinance  requires  that  this 
jalue  of  $456,573  be  amortized 
luring  the  thirteen  remaining  years 
)f  the  life  of  the  franchise.     This 


involves  a  further  burden  of  ap- 
proximately $35,000  a  year  (not  de- 
creasing yearly)  on  the  telephone 
subscribers  to  be  paid  in  the  shape 
of  an  allowance  to  the  telephone 
company  for  operation.  These 
items  make  a  total  of  approxi- 
mately 67,000  a  year,  beginning  in 
1918  as  an  annual  charge  of  the 
telephone  company  for  the  proble- 
matical use  of  the  tunnel  space. 
This  amount  falls  to  $38,000  at  the 
end  of  the  period. 

$240,000  of  this  amount  is  based 
solely    on    possible    subway    con- 
struction, but  whether  subways  are 
constructed  or  not,  an  allowance  of 
$22,000  a  year  is  made  to  the  com- 
pany.   In  other  words,  in  return  for 
$500,000   in  cash,   as  compensation 
the  city  allows  the  telephone  com- 
pany an  increase  in  its  capitaliza- 
tion of  $456,000  on  assumed  use  of 
tunnel  space,  with  an  annual  cash 
return  averaging  $52,000.     In  fact, 
the  increase  in  capitalization  of  the 
Chicago  Telephone  Company  under 
the  proposed  ordinance  on  the  basis 
of   possible    use    of   subway   space 
alone,   is  more  than  offset  by  any 
return  to  the  city  for  the  remain- 
ing  year   of   the    company's    fran- 
chise.    In  view  of  this  considera- 
tion it  is  clear  that  while  the  peo- 
ple of  Chicago  receive  $500,000  as 
compensation  for  the  proposed  sale 
they  lose  an  existing  revenue  and 
add  to  the  capitalization  and  con- 
sequent   earnings    of    the    Chicago 
Telephone     Company     an     amount 
which  is  likely  to  be  in  excess  of 
what  is  received.     The  addition  to 
the    expense    of    operation    of    the 
Chicago    Telephone     Company    al- 
lowed for  tunnel  rights  which  may 
or    may    not    be    used    is     about 
$52,000  for  a  period  of  eleven  years. 

If  the  true  value  of  the  property 
of  the  Automatic  Company  is 
$2,236,192,  as  estimated  by  Mr. 
Miller,  and  the  sale  price  of  the 
property  is  $6,300,000,  as  stated  be- 
fore  the   Committee   then   there   is

REPORTS   OF    COMMITTEES.

a  margin  of  $4,000,000  which  must 
be  accounted  for. 

Two  explanations  may  be  given 
for  the  payment  of  this  sum.    The 
first  is  that  since  the  company  has 
lost    money    in    its    enterprise    it 
should    be    allowed    to    recoup    its 
losses   through   the  proposed ,  sale. 
In  this  way,  four  millions  of  dol- 
lars (or  $3,500,000,  deducting  com- 
pensation to  the  city)   will  be  re- 
turned to  those  who  have  been  re- 
sponsible  for  the   expenditures   m 
the  development  of  the  automatic 
telephone  business  in  Chicago.    The 
city    however,  is  under  no  obliga- 
tion,    either    legal    or    moral,    to 
guarantee    losses    incurred   by   m- 
vestors    or    speculators    who    have 
undertaken  contracts  with  the  pub-  i 
lie      On  the   other  hand,  the  city 
is  bound  to  take  the  position  that 
it   will   not   permit   losses   of   this 
nature  to  be  saddled  upon  the  gen- 
eral public.    While  this  margin  of 
$3,500,000    is    not    added    to    the 
capitalization  of  the  Chicago  Tele- 
phone   Company,    it    is    reasonably 
certain  it  will  be  added  to  the  cap- 
italization or  operating  expenses  of 
some  other  concern  and  that  m  the 
long  run  the  burden  will  be  borne 
by  the  telephone  or  telegraph  users 
of  the  United  States. 

The    other    explanation    of    the 
payment  of  $4,000,000  for  the  prop- 
erty  of   the   Automatic   Telephone 
Company  (subtracting  the  compen- 
sation paid  to  the  City  $3,500,000) 
is   that   this   sum   is  paid   for   the 
purpose  of  eliminating  competition 
in  the  City  of  Chicago  or  for  the 
elimination  of  the  Automatic  tele- 
phone    service,     as     distinguished 
from  the  manual  service,  or  for  the 
acquisition    of    certain     automatic 
telephone  patent  rights,  the  control 
of  which  may  be  contingent  on  this 
sale     There  is  no  valid  reason  why 
the  City  of  Chicago  should  interest 
itself  in  the  payment  of  a  largo  sum 
of    m*oney    for   the    olimmaiion    ot 
competition  in  this  City  nor  for  the 
innking  of  the  automatic  telephone 
service  or  system.     Tf  it  is  worth 


$4  000,000    or    $3,500,000    to    elim-  ^ 
inate   competition   and   establish   a 
monopoly  situation  in  the  City  ol 
Chicago,  then,  this  amount  should 
be  paid  to  the  City  itself  and  not 
to  any  outside  corporation  or  con- 
cern.   In  other  words,  if  $2,236,192, 
represents  the  value  of  the  tangible 
property  of  the  automatic  telephone 
and  $4,000,000  represents  the  value 
of  the  intangible  property  or  fran- 
chise or  monopoly  value,  then  the 
latter  amount  certainly  belongs  to 
the  people   of  Chicago.     The  only 
sound   theory   of   compensation   to 
the  City  is  based  upon  a  distinction 
between   the   tangible   property   of 
the    company    and    the    intangible 
property    of    the    company.      And 
I  upon  this  basis,  the  City  should  re- 
ceive as  compensation  the  amount 
of  four  millions  of  dollars. 

An  unsuccessful  effort  was  made 
in  the  Committee  to  insert  the  item 
of  $4,000,000  in  place  of  the  figure 
$500,000.  It  is  the  opinion  of  ttie 
minority  that  this  monopoly  value 
clearly  belongs  to  the  City,  and  that 
no  sale  ordinance  should  be  pro- 
vided which  does  not  guarantee  the 
payment' of  this  value  to  the  people 
who  granted  it. 


REFERENDUM. 

Broad  questions  of  public  policy 
are    involved   in   the   pending   sale 
ordinance.    Under  this  head  are  in- 
cluded   the    question   whether   the 
City  should  institute  forfeiture^pro- 
ceedings;  whether  the  City  should 
permit  the  elimination  of  competi- 
tion   in    the    telephone    business 
whether- the  City  should  permit  the 
destruction   of  the   automatic  sys- 
tem:     whether    the    valuation    of    | 
$2^^36,192,     is     the     proper     one, 
xvhether      the      compensation     oi 
$500,000  is  adequate  compensal  on- 
Those    questions    of    public    vom 
on^^ht  to  be  submitted  to  the  voters 
of   Chicago  and   be   f^etermined  b> 
them.      The    rights    assorted    and 
claimed    are    municipal    ^'^^^'.s  m

are,  therefore,  appropriately  and 
peculiarly  questions  upon  which  a 
vote  of  the  people  should  be  ob- 
tained. This  can  be  ascertained  by 
means  of  a  referendum  which  was 
proposed  in  your  Committee  but 
was  there  defeated.  The  City 
Council  alone  should  not  pass  final 
judgment  upon  these  important 
questions.  They  should  be  sub- 
mitted either  to  the  counts  in  or- 
der that  they  may  pass  upon  the 
rights  of  the  city  in  relation  to  the 
Automati,c  Telephone  Company  or 
to  the  voters  in  order  that  they  may 
pass  upon  the  question  of  policy  in- 
volved in  the  proposed  sale  ordi- 
nance. If  the  case  is  carried  to  the 
courts  there  is  no  reason  to  believe 
that  the  judiciary  will  not  ade- 
quately protect  any  legitimate  in- 
terest concerned.  Upon  the  other 
hand,  if  an  appeal  is  taken  to  the 
people,  the  voters  of  the  City  whose 
rights  and  interests  are  involved 
can  make  such  determination  of 
the  question  as  to  them  seems 
wisest.  The  policy  of  referring 
large  financial  and  franchise  ques- 
tions to  the  electorate  has  been 
adopted  in  this  and  many  other 
cities  and  has  met  with  general  ap- 
proval. The  undersigned  are  of  the 
opinion  that  no  sale  ordinance 
should  be  considered  which  does 
not  require  a  favorable  referendum 
vote  as  a  condition  of  the  proposed 
sale. 

MINORITY  RECOMMENDATION. 

In  view  of  the  foregoing  consid- 
erations and  many  other  facts  and 
features  of  this  case  which  cannot 
be  enumerated  here,  the  under- 
signed are  of  the  opinion  that  the 
proposed  sale  ordinance  should  be 
placed  on  file. 

Your  Committee  wishes  to  draw 
attention  to  the  incorrect  and  mis- 
leading statement  that  Judge  Foster 
has  agreed  to  the  form  and  .policy 
of  the  proposed  ordinance.  Judge 
Foster  has  been  consulted  in  regard 
to  and  has  agreed  to  the  form  of 
the  proposed  ordinance  if  the  sale 


is  to  be  made,  but  he  has  expressed 
no  opinion  upon  the  policy  of  the 
sale  or  upon  the  question  of  valua- 
tion or  compensation.  In  other 
words,  Judge  Foster  has  assisted 
in  drafting  two  ordinances,  one  for 
the  purpose  of  forfeiting  the  prop- 
erty of  the  Automatic  Telephone 
Company  and  the  other  for  the  pur- 
pose of  a  proposed  sale.  He  has  not 
changed  his  opinion  as  to  the  right 
of  the  City  to  forfeit  the  plant. 

There  are  sound  agreements  be- 
tween cities  and  public  utility  cor- 
porations, but  this  is  not  one  of 
them.  A  corporation  which  offered 
the  city  cheaper  telephone  rates, 
superior  service,  prompt  construc- 
tion of  a  system  serving  20,000  sub- 
scribers and  agreed  that  its  prop- 
erty should  revert  to  the  City  in 
case  this  could  not  be  or  was  not 
done  now  comes  to  the  municipality 
and  asks  that  it  be  allowed  to  sell 
its  property,  valued  at  $2,236,192, 
for  $6,300,000  of  which  the  City 
shall  receive  $500,000  and  that 
$1,500,000  shall  be  added  to  the 
capital  account  of  its  competitor. 
Its  attorneys  declined  at  first  to 
state  to  whom  the  sale  is  to  be 
made,  or  the  sale  price.  They  re- 
sisted all  efforts  to  secure  a  count 
of  the  number  of  telephones  and 
after  a  citizens'  committee  was 
finally  secured,  they  admitted  that 
they  did  not  have  the  requisite 
number,  20,000.  They  flunted  the 
amazing  opinion  of  the  Corpora- 
tion Counsel  in  the  face  of  the  city. 
Indeed,  the  attorney  for  the  com- 
pany finally  became  the  chief  law 
ofiicer  of  the  city.  They  refuse  to 
pay  the  monopoly  value  of  $4,000,- 
000  to  the  city  to  which,  on  any 
calculation  it  is  entitled.  They  de- 
nounce attempts  to  secure  a  refer- 
endum, asi  calculated  to  kill  their 
ordinance. 

The  proposed  ordinance  contains 
no  elements  of  real  advantage  to 
the  city  and  embodies  many  posi- 
tive disadvantages.  One  of  the  rea- 
sons why  the  City  of  Chicago  is  not 
in  a  better  position  with  reference

to  its  public  utility  corporations  is  ' 
that  the  municipality  has  been  famt 
hearted   in  pursuing  its  legal  and 
just  claims.     Street  railway  condi- 
tions  suffered  for  years  until  the 
much     feared     suit     was     finally 
brought  to  the  court  and  the  decis- 
ion in  the  99-year  case  strength- 
ened the  city's  position.    Gas  litiga- 
tion lagged  for  four  years  to  the 
detriment    of    the    consumers,   be- 
cause the  city  hesitated  to  test  its 
case.     The   Commonwealth  Edison 
Company     obtained     a     settlement 
much    more    favorable    than   could 
have    been    secured    had    the    city 
pressed  its  claims.     The  people  of 
Chicago  are  not  desirous  of  litiga- 
tion for   litigation's   sake,  but  the 
municipality  unquestionably  would 
be  in  a  far  stronger  position  if  it 
showed  a  willingness  to  fight  for  its 
rights   when   necessary.     The   city 
on  a  small  scale,  as  the  nation  on  a 
larger,  must  be  willing  to  put  forth 
its  full  strength  in  defense  of  the 
just  claims  of  its  people.    The  gen- 
eral understanding  that  the  munic- 
ipality proposes  to  stand  up  for  its 
rights  in  contract  matters  will  it- 
self prevent  many  of  the  contro- 
versies  now  brought  upon  us   by 
those  who  hope  to  intimidate  the 
city   by   their   threatening   demon- 
strations. 

The  undersigned,  being  a  minor- 
ity  of  the  Committee  on  Gas,  Oil 
and  Electric  Light,  therefore  rec- 
ommend as  a  substitute  for  the  ac- 
tion of  the  majority  of  said  Com- 
mittee, that  "an  ordinance  granting 
permission  to  the  Chicago  Tunnel 
Company  to  sell  and  transfer  its 
telephone  plant,  system  and  equip- 
ment as  described  herein  to  the 
Chicago  Telephone  Company"  be 
placed  on  file.

streets  between  the  north  line  of 
Fijty-third  street  and  the  south  line 
of  Sixty-seventh  street,  in  the  City

The  Illinois  Central  Railroad 
Company  shall  elevate  its  roadbed 
and  tracks  from  the  north  line-  of 
East  Fifty-third  street  on  the  north 
to  the  south  line  of  East  Sixty-

manner  as  will  comply  with  the 
provisions  of  this  ordinance  in  so 
far  as  conditions  are  imposed  upon 
said  Illinois  Central  Railroad  Com- 
pany. 

Section  2.  That  the  embank- 
ment on  which  said  elevated  road- 
bed shall  be  constructed  within  the 
aforesaid  limits  shall  be  composed 
of  any  material  which  is  of  per- 
manent character  and  sufficiently 
substantial  to  bear  thei  loads  to  be 
imposed  upon  it. 

The  side  slopes  and  lateral  di- 
mensions of  said  embankments  will 
be  fixed  and  determined  by  the 
natural  angle  of  repose  of  the  ma- 
terials of  which  said  embankments

embankment  slope  with  back  line 
thereof;  provided,  however,  that 
when  said  retaining  walls  are  of  in- 
sufficient height  to  properly  protect 
said  rights  of  way  from  trespassing 
thereon,  then  said  retaining  walls  as 
aforesaid  shall  be  surmounted  with 
a  suitable  fence  or  railing,  but 
whenever  said  retaining  walls  are 
not  used  at  all,  said  rights  of  way

The  following  communication, 
which  was  ordered  published  and 
placed  on  file: 

CmcAco,  February  7,  1916. 
Mayor     William     Tlnlr     Thompson, 

City   Ball,   Chicago: 

Dear    Sir — In     accordance     witli 


your    request   and    the    request   of 
Corporation  Counsel  Folsom,  I  gave 
an  opinion  on  July   3,    1915,  with 
respect  to  certain  questions  of  law 
and    policy    involved    in    the    then 
proposed    forfeiture    of    the    tele- 
phone     franchise     and      telephone 
property    of    the    Chicago    Tunnel 
Company.     In  that  opinion  I  said: 
"It  is  an  established  principle, 
both   in  law  and  in  equity,  that 
forfeitures  for  a  breach  of  con- 
ditions   are   not  favored   by   the 
courts,  and  that  the  language  un- 
der which    such   a  forfeiture   is 
sought  will  be  construed  so  as  to 
avoid    the   forfeiture    if    such    a 
construction  is  not  unreasonable 
and  does  not  do  violence  to  the 
terms  of  the  contract,  franchise, 
grant  or  license.     This  statement 
of  the  law  will,  I  think,  be  con- 
ceded." 

After  discussing  numerous  de- 
cisions of  the  courts  and  other  au- 
thorities, with  respect  to  the  law 
of  forfeiture,  as  applicable  to  the 
very  unusual  provisions  of  the 
Chicago  Tunnel  Company's  ordi- 
nances, I  reached  the  following 
conclusion : 

"They  seem  to  me  to  demon- 
strate that  if  the  forfeiture  of  the 
Automatic  Telephone  franchise  is 
declared,  the  decision  of  the  re- 
sulting litigation,  either  in  law 
or  in  equity,  will  be  greatly  in- 
fluenced, if  not  determined,  by 
the  extent  to  which  the  Chicago 
Tunnel  Company,  upon  the  one 
hand,  can  show  that  it  has  pro- 
ceeded in  good  faith  to  construct 
and  extend  its  telephone  system 
and  plant  and  to  secure  bona  fide 
subscribers,  and  by  the  extent  to 
which  the  city,  upon  the  other 
hand,  can  show  that  this  forfei- 
lure  is  being  sought  for  a  real 
public  interest." 

In     discussing    the    question    of 
public  policy,  I  said: 

"Are  the  claims  of  the  com- 
panv  correct?  If  the  -property  is 
forfeited   does    the   city    propose

to  operate  it,  or  to  sell  it  to  the 
Chicago  Telephone  Company,  or 
to  remove  it  and  sell  the  ma- 
terials? In  declaring  a  forfeiture 
is  it  the  purpose  of  the  city  to 
secure  and  continue  a  public  ser- 
vice in  lany  manner  or  to  any  ex- 
tent to  which  the  com-pany  is 
failing  or  refusing  to  render  the 
same  public  service? 

"I  do  not  mean  to  suggest  that 
the  city  can  now  decide  many  of 
the  details  of  any  plan  for  carry- 
ing out  such  a  purpose,  but  that 
it  can  and  should  decide  whether 
there  is  such  a  purpose  which  is 
feasible  and  in  the  public  inter- 
est and  which  could  be  adopted 
by  the  city.  Can  the  Automatic 
Telephone  system,  including  the 
necessary  space  in  the  tunnels,  be 
operated  either  by  the  city  or  by 
any  licensee  of  the  city  except 
at  an  operating  loss?  Is  it  in 
the  public  interest  that  it  should 
be  so  operated?  Should  it  be 
operated  as  a  separate  system  or 
with  interconnections  with  the 
system  of  the  Chicago  Telephone 
Company?  Can  it  be  so  operated 
upon  terms  which  would  not  in- 
volve a  fmancial  loss  to  the  city 
directly  or  to  the  people  of  the 
city  if  the  operating  loss  should 
be  shifted  to  the  Chicago  Tele- 
phone Company  and  by  that  com- 
pany to  its  subscribers?  Is  the 
only  practical  use  to  which  the 
city  could  put  the  property  a  sale 
to  the  Chicago  Telephone  Com- 
pany or  a  sale  of  the  materials 
to  someone  else?  Is  it  merely 
for  the  sake  of  the  money  for 
which  it  could  be  sold,  that  the 
property  is  to  be  forfeited?  If 
this  is  the  purpose,  may  it  not 
be  to  the  fmancial  interest  of  the 
city  to  secure  a  money  compen- 
sation from  the  company  for 
consenting  to  the  sale  to  the 
American  Telephone  &  Telegraph 
Company,  provided  only-  the  ac- 
tual value  of  the  physical  prop- 
erty and  tunnel  space  is  added  to 
the  capital   account  of  the  Ohi- 


cago  Telephone  Company  or  the 
American  Telephone  &  Telegraph 
Com/pany  (for  the  purpose  of  de- 
termining the  reasonableness  of 
future   rate   regulation)  ? 

If  the  price  fixed  in  the  pend- 
ing contract  between  the  Tunnel 
Company  and  the  A.  T.  &  T.  Go. 
is  in  part  based  upon  the  removal 
of  competition,  w^ould  the  city 
secure  anything  like  that  price  if 
it  forfeited  the  Automatic  Tele- 
phone franchise  and  property, 
and  destroyed  or  reduced  the 
menace  of  competition  by  reason 
of  the  legal  or  financial  obstacles 
to  such  competition  in  the  hands 
of  the  city? 

If  financial  gain  is  the  object 
of  the  city,  'has  it  really  con- 
sidered the  available  alterna- 
tives? Should  not  the  city  at 
\eksi  determine  whether  it  is 
forfeiting  this  property  for 
financial  .gain  or  the  continuation 
of  a  public  service?  Is  not  this 
determination  essential  to  any 
wise  decision  as  to  the  policy  of 
forfeiture? 

In  the  First  Annual  Report  of 
the  Department  of  Public  Ser- 
vice of  the  City  of  Chicago  (pages 
108-142)  suggestions  are  made  of 
various  plans  for  continuing  the 
operation  of  the  Automatic  Tele- 
phone System.  In  my  opinion 
these  plans  should  be  carefully 
considered,  with  a  view  of  de- 
termining whether  any  of  them 
are  feasible  from  the  legal, 
financial  and  operating  points  of 
view,  and  whether  any  of  them 
are  desirable  from  a  public  point 
of  view.  Such  a  consideration 
ought  to  make  it  possible  for  the 
city  to  determine — not  in  detail, 
hut  as  a  matter  of  general  policy 
— whether  there  is  anything 
which  can  and  should  be  done 
with  this  telephone  system  which 
the  company  is  unable  or  unwill- 
ing to  do,  and  which  the  city  or 
its  licensee  or  grantee  would  be 
able  and  willing  to  do.  I  ihave 
already   pointed   out   that   a   de-

cision  of  this  question  may  have 
a  controlling  influence  upon  the 
decision    of    the    courts    in    the 
event  of  a  forfeiture." 
Following    the    suggestions    thus 
made,    the    Council    Committee    on 
Gas,    Oil    and    Electric    Light    em- 
ployed Mr.  Kempster  B.  Miller,   an 
expert    telephone    engineer    recom- 
mended by  Judge  Stephen  A.  Foster, 
Counsel  for  the  Committee,  to  make 
an  investigation  and  report  to  the 
committee. 

On  September  30,  1915,  Mr.  Miller 
made  his  report.  In  this  report  Mr. 
Miller  reviewed  the  history  of  the 
company,  and  carefully  analyzed  its 
efforts  to  secure  subscribers  to  its 
telephone  service  and  the  reasons 
for  its  failure.  I  desire  to  direct 
your  attention  to  some  of  his  more 
important  conclusions  and  recom- 
mendations, as  follows: 

"All  the  evidence  points  to  the 
conclusion   that,   un*der   the   con- 
tractor's   campaign,    all    ordinary 
business  considerations  were  sac- 
rificed in  the  effort  to  secure  and 
retain  'twenty  thousand  bona  fide 
subscribers.'     *     *     *     The  signi- 
ficance of  all  this— for  our  present 
purposes — is    -not    so    much    its 
bearing  upon  the  financial  opera- 
'    tions  of  the  company  as.  its  rev- 
elation of  the  length  to  which  the 
company  has  gone  to  secure  and 
retain     a     patronage,     and     the 
limited  response  which  ithe  public 
has    given   even   to   such    liberal 
'terms  and  treatment.    After  all  is 
said,   it   must  be   concluded   that 
the    automatic  telephone   service 
in  Chicago  has  failed  for  lack  of 
public  support. 

I  conclude,  in  view  of  this,  that 
if  the  present  automatic  service 
in  Chicago  were  discontinued,  no 
one  would  be  deprived  of  tele- 
phone service,  except,  perhaps, 
thai  class  of  automatic  sub- 
scribers, who  pay  practically 
nothing  for  their  service.  Some 
of  the  legitimaite  users  of  the 
automatic  service  might  be  put  to 


some  inconvenience,  but  all  of 
them  would  be  able  to  get  manual 
service  as  a  substitute.  The  in- 
convenience to  which  a  few 
might  be  subjected  by  the  loss  of 
the  automatic  would  be  msigni- 
ficant  in  comparison  with  the 
general  inconvenience  and  added 
expense  that  would  result  from  a 
widespread  development  of^  a 
competing  service  in  Chicago." 
After  analyzing  the  various  plans 
suggested,  Mr.  Miller  said  r 

"Aside  from  its  bad  effects  on 
the  quality  and  the  cost  of  ser- 
vice,    I     believe     that     financial 
failure  would  be  almost  inevitable 
should  the   city   or   anyone   else, 
attempt  to  establish  a  competmg 
telephone    enterprise    in   Chicago 
now.     To  do  this  without  inter- 
connection would  be  put  to  repeal 
the  failure  of  the  present  enter-, 
prise;  to  do  so  with  interconnec- 
tion would  better  the  conditions 
under   which    the   present   auto- 
matic system  has  been  working, 
but  slightly,   if   at  all.     It  could 
not  avert  the  failure.     It  is  true 
that  competing  telephone  systems 
have    succeeded   in   many  places, 
but  never  where  the  conditions  at 
the  time  of  starting  were  as  they 
are  in  Chicago  today. 

"But    even    if    investors    couUl 
anticipate    the   .successful    estab- 
lishment  of    a    competing   auto- 
matic   system    in    Chicago    after 
years  of  fighting,  they  would  not 
be    justified     in    advancing    the 
large   sums   of   money  necessary, 
for  in  the  end  they  would  be  ab  o 
to  charge  only  such  rates  aswouW 
bring  a  reasonable  return.    They 
would  ta*ke  the  chances  of  failure, 
with  no  assurance  of  reward  for 
success;  and  even  in  case  of  suc- 
cess,    their     reward     woiil.l     do 
]imil(Hi  to  practically  an  n\lcves\ 
roturn  on  Unur  investment.    Tm 
would  bar  private  invi^stors,  and. 
in  my  opinion,   it  should  bar  tne 
investment  of  public  moneys. 
Conclusion  as  to  Proposition  I: 


February   14,   1916. 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


3219 


Sliould  the  city,  after  successful 
forfeiture  proceedings,  acquire 
the  automatic  telephone  system,  I 
would  strongly  advise  against  an 
attempt  to  operate  it  as  a  com- 
peting enterprise.  It  would  re- 
sult in  financial  failure,  and 
would  not  otherwise  ipromote  the 
welfare  of  (the  public,  either  by 
giving  better  or  cheaper  telephone 
service.  On  the  contrary,  it 
would  tend  to  cause  a  deteriora- 
tion of  the  quality  and  to  in- 
crease the  cost  of  telephone  ser- 
vice to  the  public. 

Proposition  IT.  Ownership  by 
City  and  Operation  by  Licensee. 
If  the  city  should  take  the  prop- 
erty by  forfeiture  and  turn  it 
■over  to  some  grantee  or  licensee 
for  operation  in  competition  with 
the  Chicago'  Telephone  Company, 
the  grantee  would  have  presented 
the  same  two  possible  courses 
that  have  just  been  discussed  un- 
der the  supposed  direct  operation 
by  the  city.  My  conclusions  are 
ithat  under  either  course  failure 
would  result,  even  if  a  grantee  of 
suflTiicient  financial  responsibility 
.could  be  found  who  would  be  in- 
terested in  the  enterprise.  If  the 
grantee  were  an  experienced 
telephone  operating  concern,  .a 
more  efficient  and  effective  man- 
agement could  be  expected  than 
if  the  city  undertook  the  direct 
management,  biit  the  whole  plan 
is  so  fundamentally  wrong  and 
the  odds  against  its  success  so 
overwhelming  that  I  do  not  be- 
lieve any  management,  no  matter 
how  efficient,  could  avert  the 
ultima-te  failure. 

Proposition  III.  City  to  Dis- 
mantle and  Dispose  of  Plant.  The 
third  course  of  action  open  to  the 
city,  in  case  of  successful  for- 
feiture, is  to  discontinue  auto- 
matic service,  dismantling  the 
plant  and  selling  its  component 
parts. 

On  the  whole,  in  view  of  all 
these  considerationis,  it  seems  im- 


possible to  assign  any  definite 
monetary  value  to  the  tunnel 
rights  for  general  cable  purposes, 
even  should  the  city  be  successful 
in  acquiring  such  rights  by  for- 
feiture. I  conclude,  then,  that  if 
the  city  should  acquire  the  prop- 
erty by  forfeiture,  dismantling  the 
■  plant  and  selling  it,  there  would 
result  a  definite  asset  in  the  form 
of  from  $750,000  to  $1,000,000  in 
cash.  Any  additional  assets  w^hich 
might  follow  from  the  retaining 
of  certain  portions  of  the  plant 
for  use  are  so  problematical  and 
intangible  as  to  make  them  of 
doubtful  value. 

This  estimate  of  the  amount  of 
cash  that  the  city  could  secure  by 
dismantling  the  plant  and  realiz- 
ing on  its  salvage  value  is  based 
on  the  present  condition  of  the 
equipment  and  on  the  present 
market  prices.  It  is  not  for  me 
to  discuss  the  probable  outcome 
of  the  city's  attempt  to  take  the 
property  by  forfeiture,  nor  the 
length  of  time  that  would  be  con- 
sumed in  the  litigation  that  would 
undoubtedly  follow  such  an  at- 
tempt. It  is,  however,  my  duty  to 
point  out  that  during  what  may 
be  a  prolonged  litigation  the  auto- 
matic itelephone  property  will  in- 
evitably deteriorate.  It  is  im- 
possible to  predict  how  far  this 
deterioration  would  reduce  the 
amount  which  the  city  could  rea- 
lize from  I  the  sale  of  the  prop- 
erty; buit  it  is  safe  to  say  that 
at  the  end  of  several  years  of  ' 
litigation  my  estimate  of  from 
$750,000  to  $1,000,000  in  cash 
would  have  to  be  considerably  re- 
duced. 

Summary  of  Propositions  I,  11 
and  III.  All  of  the  three  plans 
ithus  far  discussed  have  been 
based  on  the  assumption  that  the 
city  would  succeed  in  taking  the 
automatic  telephone  plant  by  for- 
feiture. The  first  and  second 
plans  proposed  the  continued  use 
of  the  system  in  the  carrying  on 
of  a  general  telephone  business  in 


3220

competition  with  the  Chicago 
Telephone  Company.  Neither  of 
these  plans,  contemplating  the 
continued  operation  of  the  sys- 
tem as  a  competitive  enterprise, 
would  promote  public  welfare. 
In  fact,  they  would  have  the 
opposite  effect.  They  would  cause 
a  deterioration  of  the  general 
telephone  service  of  the  city  and 
they  would  be  productive  of  a 
financial  loss  'that  in  the  end 
would  tend  to  increase  the  cost  ol 
service. 

Under  the  third  plan,  whereby 
the  city  was  to  discontinue  auto- 
matic service,  dismantle  the  plant 
and  sell  various  portions,  retain- 
ing, perhaps,  some  portions  for  its 
own  use,  there  would  result  a 
cash  asset  of  from  $750,000  to 
$1,000,000. 

Again,  for  the  reasons  I  have 
already  pointed  out,  I  do  not  be- 
lieve that  the  present  company  or 
any  successor  would  be  suffici- 
ently benefited  by  any  plan  of  in- 
terconnection with  the  Chicago 
Telephone  Company  to  perceptibly 
alter  its  chances  for  success.  The 
same  reasons  which  caused  me  to 
advise  the  city  not  to  engage  in 
the  continued  operation  of  the 
plant  as  a  competing  enterprise 
will  also  compel  me  to  give 
similar  advice  to  any  corporation 
lor  individual  contemplating  doing 
so. 

Any  attempt  to  continue  the 
operation  of  the  automatic  sys- 
tem as  a  competing  enterprise, 
either  under  city  or  private  con- 
trol and  either  with  or  without 
interconnection  with  the  system 
of  the  Chicago  Telephone  Com- 
pany, will  not  be  conducive  to 
hotter  or  cheaper  telephone  ser- 
vice in  Chicago.  Tt  will  tend  to 
lower  the  possible  standard  of 
service,  to  raise  the  cost  of  sor- 
vico,  and  will  in  all  probability 
cause  the  loss  of  large  sums  of 
mnnoy,  failing  for  lack  of  public 
support. 


If  the  city  acquires  the   auto- 
matic telephone  property  by  for-  • 
feiture,    the    only    sure    way    to  ^ 
make  it  a  real  asset  will  be  to  dis- 
continue its  operation,  dismantle 
the  plant,  and  sell  it  in  whole  or 
in    part.      By    disposing    of    the 
property    in   this    way    the    city 
could  probably  realize  from  $750,- 
000    to    $1,000,000    in   cash;    the 
amount  depending  in  part  on  the 
final  decision  of  the  courts  as  to 
what  uses  the  city  could  make  of 
the   telephone    conduits    and   the 
cable  space  in  the. tunnels.    This 
estimate  of  salvage  v^lue  is  based 
on    the    present    conditions    and 
does   not  take   into    account   the 
shrinkage  in  value  that  would  oc- 
cur during  what  may  be  a  pro- 
longed litigation   leading  to  for- 
feiture. 

Of  course,  there  is  a  possibility 
that  the  City  might  sell  the  prop- 
erty to  the  American  Telephone 
and   Telegraph   Company   or   the 
Chicago  Telephone  Company,  but 
I    see    no    reason    to    hope    for 
its    being     able    to    do    so    for 
any  amount  considerably  higher 
than     its     then     salvage     value. 
There  is  every  reason  to  believe 
that  the  American  Telephone  and 
Telegraph    Company    would    no 
now    repeat   the   offer   which   it 
made  to  the  Chicago  Tunnel  Com- 
pany  in   1913.     The   commercial 
situation  has  materially  changed 
since   then.      By  the   end  of  the 
period  of  vears  which  might  he 
consumed  in  forfeiture  proceed- 
ings, the  commercial  importance 
of  the  automatic  system  to  t^ne 
Bell    interests    would    have    stiu 
further  diminished,  and  this,  to- 
gether with  the  physical  deterio- 
ration that  would  occur,  leads  me 
to  believe  that  the  city's  chance 
of  disposing  of  the  property  alter 
forfeiture    proceedings    for    any- 
thing more  than  its  salvage  value 
would  be  too  remote  to  count  on. 
That  the  automatic  property  wU 
deteriorate  in  both  physical  and 
])n^iness  valin^  during  a  period  oi

litig'cition  cannot  be  doubted. 
There  is  little  incentive  for  the 
proper  upkeep  of  an  enterprise 
which  shows  an  operating  loss, 
and  for  the  ultimate  success  of 
which  there  appears  no  prospect. 
The  commercial  situation  of  the 
automatic  system  will  grow  worse, 
because  its  business  seems  sure 
to  continue  on  its  downward  path, 
while  that  of  the  Chicago  Tele- 
phone Company  will  probably 
continue  to  grow  at  its  present 
rapid  rate.  At  the  end  of  a  period 
of  litigation,  the  relative  com- 
mercial position  of  the  automatic 
system  with  respect  to  the  Bell 
system  in  Chicago  will  be  worse 
than  now,  how  much  worse  de- 
pending on  the  length  of  the  liti- 
gation. 

On  the  other  hand,  if  the  city 
decides  that  it  has  not  the  moral 
or  legal  right  to  take  the  property 
by  forfeiture,' or  if,  having  these 
rights,  it  deems  it  unwise  from 
the  standpoint  of  public  policy  to 
exercise  them,  the  best  course 
will  be  to  permit  the  present 
owners  to  sell  it  (if  they  can)  to 
the  American  Telephone  and 
Telegraph  Company  under  the 
agreement  lalready  existing  be- 
tween these  two  parties.  It  is  to 
be  borne  in  mind,  however,  that 
the  city's  permission  will  not 
settle  the  matter.  There  will  still 
be  required  state  and,  perhaps. 
Federal  authorization. 

The  price  agreed  upon,  $6,- 
300,000,  seems  unduly  large,  but 
I  am  not  able  to  see  that  the  city 
is  more  than  indirectly  concerned 
in  what  the  American  Telephone 
and  Telegraph  Company  pays.  The 
city,  however,  is  very  directly 
concerned  in  what  the  Chicago 
Telephone  Company  will  pay  the 
American  Telephone  and  Tele- 
graph Company  for  the  property 
if  the  price  is  to  affect  the  tele- 
phone rates  which  the  public  will 
pay  in  the  future.  What  this 
price  will  be,  there  is  no  means 
of  knowing,  but  I  believe  that  the 


city  and  the  Illinois  State  Public 
Utilities  Commission  have  ample 
power  to  safeguard  the  interests 
of  the  public  in  this  respect.  Un- 
der present  methods  of  regula- 
tion, a  public  utility  is  not  per- 
mitted arbitrarily  to  unduly  in- 
crease the  amount  on  which  it  is 
allowed  to  earn  a  reasonable  re- 
turn. 

I  recommend,  therefore,  that  if 
the  city  decides  not  to  attempt  to 
take  the  property  by  forfeiture, 
its  best  course  will  be  to  permit 
the  sale  to  the  American  Tele- 
phone and  Telegraph  Company, 
after  taking  full  precautions  by 
ordinance,  by  agreement  or 
otherwise,  to  prevent  the  undue 
inflation  of  the  amount  upon 
which  the  Chicago  Telephone 
Company  is  to  be  allowed  to  earn 
a  fair  return. 

As  I  analyze  it,  the  whole  com- 
plex problem  before  your  com- 
mittee resolves  itself  into  a  choice 
between  two  comparatively  simple 
courses : 

(a)  To^take  the  property  by 
forfeiture  and  dispose  of  it  for 
cash.  Under  present  conditions 
I  estimate  its  cash  value,  if  thus 
disposed  of  now,  to  be  from 
$750,000  to  $1,000,000.  This  course 
means  the  certain  discontinuance 
of  automatic  service,  and  the  ob- 
ject of  forfeiture  resolves  itself 
into  merely  the  securing  of  money 
for  the  city. 

(b)  To  permit  the  sale  of  the 
property  to  the  American  Tele- 
phone and  Telegraph  Company, 
after  making  the  necessary  pro- 
visions to  prevent  the  undue  in- 
flation of  the  amount  upon  which 
the  Chicago  Telephone  Company 
will  be  allowed  to  earn  a  fair  re- 
turn. This  means  the  probable 
discontinuance  of  automatic  ser- 
vice in  Chicago. 

The  choice  between  these  two 
courses — or  any  compromise  be- 
tween them — depends  on  con- 
siderations of  law  and  equity  and

of  municipal  policy.  I  do  not  un- 
derstand that  my  opinion  or  ad- 
vice is  desired  as  to  these  issues." 

By  this  report  the  city  has  been 
placed  in  ia  position  to  determine  in- 
telligently whether  it  should  under- 
take   to    declare    a    forfeiture.     It 
knows   now   what   an   expert   tele- 
phone    engineer     of     the     highest 
standing  would  testify  to  upon  these 
matters    in    any    forfeiture    litiga- 
tion.    The  conclusions  reaohed  and 
stated   by    Mr.    Miller    confirm    my 
opinion    that,    notwithstanding   the 
strong  argument  that  can  be  made 
as  to  the  legal  construction  of  the 
forfeiture   provisions   of  the   ordi- 
nances,  there   is   substantial   doubt 
as  to  whether  the  courts  would  sus- 
tain a  forfeiture  if  such  a  forfeiture 
were   attempted  by  the  city.      Mr. 
Miller     conclusively     demonstrates 
that  the  public   interest  would  be 
injured— not  helped—  by   any   at- 
tempt to  forfeit  this  property  for 
the  purpose  of  continuing  the  auto- 
matic service  in  Chicago.   The  city's 
real  interest  in  the  forfeiture  there- 
fore is  the  amount  of  money  which 
it   could   thereby   obtain  from   the 
sale  of  the  property.    The  Commit- 
tee on  Gas,  Oil  and  Electric  Light 
has  fixed  the  sum  of  $500,000  as  the 
amount  to  be  paid  to  the  city  in 
settlement    of    the    city's   disputed 
claim   of   legal  right  of  forfeiture. 
In  my  judgment  this  represents  a 
fair  and  reasonable  adjustment  of 
the    city's    claims,    especially   con- 
sidering   the    depreciation    of    the 
property    which    Mr.    Miller    says 
would  necessarily  occur  during  the 
litigation  that  would  certainly  re- 
sult if  a  forfeiture  were  attempted. 
The  Committee  has  adopted  the  val- 
uation figures  of  Mr.  Miller  and  has 
recommended  an  ordinance,  drawn 
by   Judge   Foster   and   myself,    au- 
thorizing a  sale— not  to  the  Ameri- 
can Telephone  and  Telegraph  Com- 
pany but  to  the  Chicago  Telephone 
Company — under     provisions     pro- 
tecting the  interests  of  the  city  and 
the  public  as  1o  future  rate  regula- 
tion 'and  other  matters.     It  is  my 


opinion  that  this  ordinance  should 
be  passed  and  that  it  should  be  ap- 
proved by  you.

DEPARTMENT  OF  LAW. 

Public   Garages:    Records   of   Motor 
Vehicles. 

The  Clerk  presented  the  follow- 
ing communication  submitted  hy  the 
Corporation  Counsel,  which  was  re- 
ferred to  the  Committee  on  Judic- 
iary : 

Department  of  Law,] 
Chicago,  February  11,  1916.f 
To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council 
of  the  City  of  Chicago: 
Gentlemen — Under  date  of  Janu- 
ary    31st,     your     Honorable     Body 
passed  the  following  order: 

"Ordered,  That  the  Corporation 
Counsel  be  and  he  is  hereby  re- 


quested to  prepare  and  submit  t9 
the  Council  an  opinion  as  to  the 
powers  of  the  City  of  Chicago  -% 
require    the    proprietors    of    all 
public  garages  to  maintain  a  rec- 
ord, open  at  all  times  to  the  police 
department  olTicials  or  other  ac- 
credited authorities,  showmg  the 
identity   of    all    automobiles   and 
motorcycles    occupying   space   in 
t.heir  respective  garages,  indicat- 
ing the  name  of  owner,  with  de- 
scription,  if  not  properly  id.niti- 
fied,  complete  description  of  car. 
including    various    numbers    and 
other  distinguishing  marks." 
The   Citv  of   Chicago  derives  its 
power  in  reference  to  the  matlor  in 
question  under  Clause  82,  Section  I 


February  14,   1916. 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


3229 


of  Article  5  of  the  cities  and 
villages  act  which  is  as  follows :  the 
city  shall  have  the'.power 

"to  direct  the  location  and 
regulate  the  use  and  construction 
of  breweries,  distilleries,  livery, 
boarding  or  sale  stables,  black- 
smith shops,  foundries,  machine 
shops,  garages,  laundries,  and 
bathing  beaches,  within  the  limits 
of  the  city  or  village." 

This  clause  was  construed  in  the 
case  of  People  vs.  Erickson,  263  111. 
368  which  held  that  an  ordinance 
which  required  persons  desirous  of 
erecting  garages  to  secure  the  con- 
sents of  a  majority  of  the  property 
owners  for  the  location  of  a  garage 
in  any  block  in  which  two-thirds  of 
the  buildings  on  both  sides  of  the 
streets  are  used  exclusively  for 
residence  purposes  was  valid.  The 
Supreme  Court  speaking  by  Mr. 
Chief  Justice  Cooke  says : 

"The  power  of  the  legislature 
to  regulate  such  a  business  is  in 
no  way  dependent  upon  the  ques- 
tion whether  it  is  a  nuisance  per 
I  se.  It  is  of  such  a  character  that 
'  it  becomes  a  nuisance  when  con- 
ducted in  particular  localities  and 
under  certain  conditions,  and  it  is 
clearly  within  the  province  of  the 
legislature,  in  the  exercise  of  the 
police  power,  to  authorize  the 
municipalities  of  the  State  to 
direct  the  location  of  public  gar- 
ages. 

While  the  identical  question  in- 
volved here  was  not  there  raised, 
this  same  statute,  as  applied  to  a 
livery  stable,  was  held  valid  in 
City  of  Chicago  v.  Stratton,  162 
111.  494.  Since  that  time  it  has 
been  amended  so  as  to  include 
garages.  The  act  is  not  subject 
to  the  objection  made,  and  as  the 
ordinance  was  passed  by  the  ex- 
press authority  conferred  by  this 
statute,  it  is  valid  unless  unrea- 
sonable in  its  requirements. 

"Appellees  contend  that  as  the 
ordinance  was  passed  under  the 
express   authority    given  by    this 


section  of  the  statute  the  courts 
will  not  inquire  into  the  reason- 
ableness of  the  provisions  of  the 
ordinance.     This  statute,  in  gen- 
eral terms,  empowers  the  munici- 
palities of  the  'State  to  direct  the 
location  and  regulate  the  use  and 
construction  of  garages.     It  gives 
no   detail    as   to   the   manner   in 
which  this  direction  and  regula- 
tion  shall   be    exercised.      Under 
■those     circumstances,      the     city 
availing  itself  of  this  statute  must 
be  reasonable  in  the  terms  which 
it  imposes  by  its  ordinances.     In 
discussing  this  question   in   Chi- 
cago   and   Alton    Railroad    Co.   v. 
City   of   Carlinville,    200   111.   314, 
we    said:      "The    books    and    re- 
ported cases  seem  to  agree   that 
courts  may  declare  void  an  ordi- 
nance passed  by  a  city  or  village 
by  virtue  of  its  implied  powers, 
if,  in  the  opinion  of  the  court,  it 
is  unreasonable;  but  when  the  or- 
dinance is  passed  by  express  au- 
thority conferred  upon  the  muni- 
cipality  by   the    legislature   such 
power  is  not  so  clear,  and  there 
is  conflict  of  authority  upon  that 
proposition.       (Burg    v.    Chicago, 
Rock  Island  and   Paciflc  Railway 
Co.,    90    Iowa,    106.)       The    rule 
adopted    in    this    State    is,    that 
where  the  ordinance  is  passed  in 
pursuance     of    power    expressly 
conferred  by  the  legislature  and 
the    details    of    such    municipal 
legislation  are  prescribed  by  the 
legislature,    an   ordinance   passed 
in  pursuance  of  such- power  can- 
not be  held  invalid  by  the  courts 
as  being  unreasonable;  but  When 
the  details  of  such  legislation  are 
not      prescribed,      an     ordinance 
passed     in     pursuance    of     such 
power  must  be  a  reasonable  exer- 
cise  thereof  or   it  will   be   pro- 
nounced  invalid.      *      *      *      The 
requirement  that  the  person  de- 
siring  to    construct    or   maintain 
a  garage   in  any  block   in  which 
two-thirds    of    the    buildings    on 
both  sides  of  the  street  are  used 
exclusively    for    residences    shall

procure  the  written,  consent  of  a 
majority  of  the  property  owners, 
according  to  frontage,  on  both 
sides  of  the  street,  is  not  unrea- 
sonable." 

In  Bouvier  Law  Dictionary  the 
word  "regulate"  is  defined  as  mean- 
ing "to  direct  by  rule  or  restric- 
tion." 

In  Gundling  vs.  City  of  Chicago, 
176  111.  340,  which  was  appealed  to 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States  and  reported  in  .177  U.  S.  183, 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States  held  that  the  ordinance  re- 
quiring a  bond  and  placing  other 
restrictions  upon  persons  engaged  in 
selling  cigarettes  was  a  valid  exer- 
cise by  the  city  of  the  police  power 
of  the  state. 

In  City  vs.  Bowman  Dairy  Co.,  234 
111.  294  the  regulation  of  milk 
bottles  was  held  valid. 

In  Cusack  vs.  City,  267  111.  344,  the 
regulation  of  bill  boards  was  held 
a  valid  exercise  of  the  police  power 
although  prior  ordinances  for  the 
regulation  of  bill  boards  were  held 
invalid  in  City  vs.  Gunning  System, 
214  111.  628,  and  Haller  Sign  Works 
vs.  Physical  Culture  School,  249  111. 
436. 

In  the  case  of  City  vs.  Cusack  the 
court  says: 

"In  Haller  Sign  Works  v.  Phy- 
sical    Culture     School,     249     111. 
436,  we  held  a  statute  which  pro-' 
bibited  the  erection  of  any  char- 
acter   of    signs    for     advertising 
purposes  within  five  hundred  feet 
of  any  public  park  or  boulevard, 
illegal    and   void,    for   tbe    reason 
that   it  did  not  tend  to   promote 
the  safety,  health,  comfort  or  gen- 
eral wellare  of  the  public  but  was 
manitVslly     passed     solely     from 
aestiictic      considerations.        The 
ord'innncc   hero  under  considera- 
tion is  not  op«Mi  to  the  objections 
tJiat  were  apparent  upon  the  face 
of  ilie  statute  in   tbe  Haller  Sign 
Works  ras«',   an<l  the  ovideiu-e   in 
llir    i'(M'or<l    clearly    dislinguishes 


this  case  fix)m  the  Gunning  Sys- 
tem case. 

"The  ordinance  is  not  unrea- 
sonable or  oppressive  because  it 
requires  the  consent  of  a  majority 
of  the  owners  of  property,  within 
certain  limits,  on  both  sides  of  the 
street  where  such  bill-boards  are 
to  be  erected.  In  respect  to  oc- 
cupations or  structures  the  loca- 
tion and  maintenance  of  which 
are  subject  to  regulation  under 
the  police  power  of  the  munici- 
pality, a  requirement  of  frontage 
consents  of  property  owners, 
within  reasonable  limits,  is  a 
proper  mode  of  exercising  the 
power  of  regulation  vested  in  the 
municipality." 

In  the  case  of  City  vs.  Netcher, 
183  111.  104,  in  which  the  court  held 
that  an  ordinance  prohibiting  the 
sale  of  certain  articles  of  merchan- 
dise by  department  stores  was  void, 
it  laid  down  the  following  rule  or 
test : 

"In  order  to  sustain  legislative 
interference  with  the  business  of 
the  citizen  by  virtue  of  the  police 
power  it  is  necessary  that  the  act 
should  have  some  reasonable  il- 
lation to  the  subjects  included  in 
such  power.    If  it  is  claimed  that 
the    statute   or   ordinance    is  re- 
ferable  to   the   police   power  tlie 
court  must  be  able  to  see  that  it 
tends,    in    some    degree,    towams 
the  prevention  of  offenses  or  the 
preservation  of  tbe  public  Inniltli.  • 
morals,     safety    or    welfar(\      h 
must  be  apparent  that  some  such 
end  is  the  one  actually  intiMided,  ^ 
and   tbat   there   is   some   connec- 
tion between  the  provisions  el  fn'^ 
law  and  such  purpose." 
In   McQuillan   on   Municipal   Cor- 
porations, Vol.  3,  Sec!  ion  911.  page 
1951,  it  is  said: 

'\\n  automobile  garage  is  not 
lUHM^ssarily  a  nuisance  />''''  ^^' 
tliough  it  may  be  so  conducted  as 
to  become  such,  and  Ikmicc.  tne

tion    and    conduct    must   be    ad- 
mitted." 

For  the  above  reasons  I  am  of  the 
opinion  that  the  City  of  Ohicago  has 
the  power  to  require  the  propriet- 
ors of  all  public  garages!  to  main- 
tain a  record  open  at  all  times  to 
the  police  department  officials  or 
other  accredited  authorities,  show- 
ing the  identity  of  all  automobiles 
and  motorcycles  occupying  space  in 
their  respective  garages,  indicating 
the  name  of  owner,  with  descrip- 
tion, if  not  properly  identified,  com- 
plete description  of  car,  including 
various  numbers  and  other  dis- 
tinguishing marks.

Chicago,  November  1,  1915. 

Eon.  Herman  F.  Schuettler,  Acting 

Superintendent  of  Police,  City  of 

Chicago: 

Dear  Sir — You  referred  to  this 
department  the  question  of  whether 
the  game  known  as  "skee  ball"  may 
be  operated  in  such  a  way  that  per- 
sons who  make  high  scores  can  be 
given  prizes. 

The  game  in  question  is  played 
by  means  of  balls  much  lighter  than 
the  ordinary  bowling  balls.  There 
is  an  alley  over  which  the  ball  runs 
which  contains  a  hump  that  causes 
the  ball  to  leap  high  in  the  air  some- 
what in  the  manner  of  the  "ski 
jumpers"  in  Sweden  and  Switzer- 
land. This  alley  is  only  20  feet  in 
length  and  the  jumping  of  the  ball 
is  more  or  less  a  matter  of  chance. 
At  the  end  of  the  alley  is  a  target 
containing  pockets  which  are  num- 
bered 10,  20,  30,  40  and  50. 

The  question  necessarily  hinges 
on  whether  the  jumping  of  the  ball 
constitutes  such  a  chance  as  would 
have  the  effect  of  taking  the  game 
out  of  the  category  of  "games  of 
skill"  and  placing  it  among  those 
which  are  to  be  construed  as  "games 
of  chance".  The  prizes  offered  are 
such  things  as  nickeled  lead-pen- 
cils, neckties,  pocketbooks,  beer 
steins,  etc. 

In  order  to  ascertain  whether  or 
not  the  running  up  of  a  large  score 
depends  on  the  skill  of  the  operator, 
the  writer  took  occasion  to  investi- 
gate it  personally.  The  manner  in 
which  it  is  proposed  to  conduct  the 
ganie  is  through  the  means  of  a  slot 
device  by  which  9  balls  are  given  to 
the  person  who  places  a  nickel  in 
the  slot.  These  balls  are  made  of 
wood  and  are  about  twice  as  large 
as  the  ordinary  base-ball.    It  seems 


3232 


COMMUNICATIONS,    ETC. 


February  14,  1916. 


to  require  considerable  force  to  send 
the  ball  over  the  alley  so  as  to  make 
it  jump  high  enough  to  strike  one 
of  the  pockets  designated  with  the 
larger  numbers  and,  in  fact,  to  play 
the  game  properly  involves  a  mild 
form  of  exercise. 

It  is  hard  to  distinguish  between 
gambling  games  'and  games  of  skill, 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  many  games 
which  are  classed  by  the  statute  as 
gambling  games  involve  skill.    The 
playing  of  cards  and  billiards  re- 
quires skill  and  at  the  same  time 
.  they     are     regarded     as     gambling 
games,  when  money  is  staked  on  the 
outoome  of  same.    Nevertheless,  the 
distinction  Is  usually  drawn  along 
these  lines.   On  the  other  hand,  few, 
if  any,  of  the  games  which  are  rec- 
ognized as  legitimate  lare  of  such  a 
character  that  the  element  of  chance 
is  entirely  eliminated.     It  plays  a 
considerable  part  in  baseball,  lawn 
tennis,   bowling   and    almost   every 
other  game  that  could  be  mentioned. 
The  writer  is  satisfied  that  a  per- 
son who  frequently  plays  and  knows 
how  to  send  the  balls  over  the  alley 
so   as   to   make   good  jumps   in   a 
straight  line  with  same  can  run  up 
a  high  score,  while  a  novice  would 
seldom  get  a  large  enough  score  to 
entitle  him  to  a  prize.     The  game 
unquestionably  requires  study  and 
practice  and  at  the  same  time  is  in- 
teresting and  healthful  apart  from 
any  prize  that  is  offered. 

It  is  worthy  of  note  that  a  group 
of  interested  spectators  stops  to 
watch  the  game  wherever  it  is 
played,  the  whole  arrangement  be- 
ing one  which  by  its  novelty  and  the 
competitive  features  affords  interest 
and  is  attractive  to  the  observers. 

In  our  opinion  it  would  be  ex- 
tending the  interpretation  of  the 
laws  against  gambling  to  an  un- 
warranted degree  to  assume  that  be- 
oausf  prizes  arc  awarded  to  those 
who  make  higli  scores  the  game  is 
contrary  to  law.  It  might  be  the 
vehicle  of  gambling  transactions  as 
most  any  game  would  be   in  case 


persons  bet  on  the  result,  but  if 
played  as  it  seems  to  be  the  inten- 
tion of  the  promoters  of  this  game 
to  play  it,  there  could  be  no  objec- 
tion to  it  from  a  legal  standpoint.

Chicago,  February  9,  1916. 

Hon.    Charles    C.    Healey,    General 
Superintendent  of  Police,  Chicago: 

Dear  Sir — Referring  to  our  pre- 
vious informal  ruling  in  respect  to 
restaurants  owned  by  persons  hold- 
ing dramshop  licenses  for  saloons 
adjoining  such  restaurants,  we  beg 
to  say  that  under  the  City  or- 
dinances, as  now  copstituted, 
restaurants  may  be  open  at  any 
hour  day  or  night,  but  no  liquor 
may  be  served  therein  between  the 
hours  of  one  o'clock  A.  M.  and  five 
o'clock  A.  M. 

A  restaurant  which  is  entirely 
separable  and  separated  from  a 
barroom  may  remain  open  after  one 
o'clock  A.  M. 

If  the  barroom  is  in  the  same 
room  with  the  restaurant  the  room 
iconstitutes  a  dramshop  and  must 
closie  at  one  o'clock  A.  M. 

If  the  barroom  is  separated  from 
the  restaurant  proper  by  la  wall  or 
partition  and  all  doors  between  the 
barroom  and  the  restaurant  are 
locked,  the  restaurant  may  then  re-* 
main  open.  Screens  will  not  serve 
for  this  purpose,  the  law  contem- 
plating something  of  a  stable  char- 
acter. 

In  the  event  that  a  restaurant 
remain  open  if  the  same  is  con- 
lected  with  a  barroom,  there  must 
36  another  door  or  means  of  accesis 
^0  the  restaurant  other  than 
through  the  barroom.  If  this  can- 
lot  be  done  the  restaurant  must  re- 
gain closed. 

If  it  shall  be  thought  that  this 
construction  makes  the  work  of 
^our  department  unduly  difficult  it 
nust  be  borne  in  mind  that  the 
unction  of  enacting  ordinancesi  is 
nested  in  the  City  Council  and  that 


this  department  can  only  take  and 
interpret  the  ordinances  as  it  finds 
them.

Hon.  Charles  C  Healy,  General  Su- 
perintendent of  Police: 
Dear  Sir — In  response  to  your 
verbal  inquiry  in  reference  to  the 
consumption  after  one  o'clock  of 
liquor  purchased  prior  to  one 
o'clock,  I  desire  to  advise  you  that 
(the  only  opinions  rendered  by  this 
department  up  to  the  present  time 
are  as  follows : 

The  first  opinion  is  by  my  pre- 
decessor. Corporation  Counsel 
Richard  S.  Folsom  and  is,  so  far  as 
it  relates  to  this  definite  question, 
in  the  following  words : 

"1.  Can  the  restaurant  be  kept 
open  and  the  patron  be  permitted 
to  remain  and  consume  after  mid- 
night liquor  purchased  and  de- 
livered to  the  patron  prior  to  i2 
o'clock  Saturday? 

Yes,  provided  the  bar  is  closed 
and  no  liquor  sold  after  12 
o'clock. 

The  next  opinion  was  prepared 
by  Assistant  Corporation  Counsel 
Salinger  prior  to  my  appointment  as 
Corporation  Counsel  and  was  ap- 
proved by  me  upon  my  appoint- 
ment as  Corporation  Counsel: 

"October  27,  1915. 

"In  re:  Sunday  Closing  Law: 
Consumption  of  liquors  purchased 
in  cafes  before  midnight  Satur- 
day night. 

"Hon.  Charles  C.  Healey,  General 
Superintendent  of  Police: 
Dear  Sir — Replying  to  your  re- 
quest of  October  21,  1915,  for  an 
opinion  as  to  whether  or  not  li-

quors  'purchased  in  cafes  before 
12:00  o'clock  midnight  on  Sat- 
urday night  can  be  served  at  any 
time  Sunday;  that  is,  between 
midnight  Saturday  night  and 
midnight  Sunday  night,  will 
say  that  this  department  bas 
'heretofore  on  October  8,  1915, 
ruled  that  such  liquor  may  be 
consumed  provided  the  bar  is 
closed  and  no  liquor  sold  after 
12:00  o'clock. 

This  opinion,  of  course,  as- 
sumed that  no  subterfuge  would 
be  used  to  keep  the  place  open 
indefinitely  by  providing  an  un- 
usual amount  of  liquor  for  this 
purpose. 

Yours  very  truly,

Assistant  Corporation  Counsel.

The  next  opinion  which  might  be 
said  to  have  any  bearing  upon  this 
subject  relates  only  to  the  subject 
of  bar  permits  and  is  contained  in 
a  series  of  answers  given  out  by 
this  department  on  December  17; 
1915,  to  questions  propounded  to  us 
and  is  as  follows: 
"Question  E. 

"At  a  dance  where  the  bar  per- 
mit has  been  issued  for  Saturday 
night,  are  the  guests  permitted 
to  drink  what  liquors  may  have 
been  served  before  twelve  o'clock? 

"According  to  the  ruling  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  Illinois  in 
Baldwin  v.  City  of  Chicago,  supra, 
the  guests  must  d(M)arf  from  the 
room  in  which  is  located  the  bar 
from  which  liquors  have  been 
served  under  the  permit,  and  the 
same  must  be  closed  at  twelve 
o'clock     Saturday     night.  Of 

oourso,  if  tliore  aro  otlier  rooms 
oc(Mipi(»d  by  guests  who  have  pur- 
chased liquors  in  reasonable 
qimnfilios  before  midnight  and 
witliout  intent  of  subterfuge,  such 


liquors   may  be    there   consumed    j 
by  them."  j 

This  opinion  was  printed  in  the 
Council    Proceedings    on    December   - 
30,  1915,  at  page  2857  et  seq.

which  was  referred  to  the  Commit-

Department  of  La\v,| 
Chicago,  February  11,  1916.| 

To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council 
of  the  City  of  Chicago: 
Gentlemen — Pursuant     to     your 
order  of  the  7th  instant: 

"That  the  Corporation  Counsel 
report  to  the  City  Council  in 
writing  at  its  next  regular  meet- 
ing the  status  of  the  ordinance 
forbidding  restaurants  to  permit  \ 
dancing  where  food  is  sold  and 
forbidding  the  passing  of  cabaret 
performers  among  the  tables  in 
lany  restaurant." 

I  h^^  to  advise  you  that  four 
prosecutions  for  alleged  violations 
of  this  ordinance  were  commenced 
•in  the  Municipal  Court  of  Chicago 
on  December  18,  1914,  and  an  ad- 
ditional prosecution  on  January  29, 
1915.  These  cases  were  heard  be- 
fore the  Honorable  John  Courtney 
who  held  that  the  ordinance  in 
question  was  invalid  and  entered 
judgment  against  the  city  in  all  five 
cases  on  the  17th  day  of  March, 
1915. 

One  of  these  cases  was  taken  to 
the  Supreme  Court  of  Illinois  upon 
a  writ  of  error  sued  out  by  the  City 
of  Chicago  and  will  probably  be 
heard  at  the  April  term,  1916,  of 
that  court.

To  the  Honorable,   the  Mayor,  a/nd 

the   City   Council  of  the   City  of 

Chicago,  City  Hall: 

Gentlemen — I  desire  herewith  to 
submit  to  your  Honorable  Body,  a 
report  on  cabarets  in  the.  City  of 
Chicago,  in  complianee  with  your 
order  of  February  7th,  and  here- 
with transmit  copies  of  reports 
from  Mr.  Hanna,  the  morals  in- 
spector. 

First,  I  desire  to  correct  any  er- 
roneous impression  that  you  may 
Jiave  regarding  cabarets  in  general, 
in  so  far  as  the  transmission  of  evi- 
dence to  this  department  is  con- 
cerned. As  you  will  see  from  the 
enclosed  copies  of  sitatements,  there 
is  only  one  place  in  the  City  of  Chi- 
cago that  is  mentioned  in  these 
statements  and  that  is  the  fox  trot 
club.  There  has  never  been  turned 
over  to  me  one  word  of  evidence 
against  any  other  cabaret  in  the 
city.  / 

Beside  the  statements  I  received 
of  which  the  enclosed  are  copies,  I 
SDoke  to  Mr.  F.  L.  Schumacher,  H. 
F.  West  and  William  Metzger. 
These  men  are  investigators  from 
the  Second  Deputy's  office'.  I  asked 
each  of  them  for  a  written  state- 
ment but  have  never  received  it. 

As  can  be  seen  from  the'  state- 
ments enclosed,  there  is  a  disagree- 
ment in  the  statements  of  Joanowici 
and  Gabriel  Grey  on  some  of  the 
important  details.  I  have  in  my 
possession  information  which  would 
discredit  the  statement  of  Joanowici. 

After  going  over  the  reports  as 
sent   to   me   from    Mr.    Hanna,    the 


morals  inspector,  my  opinion  was 
that  a  conviction  could  not  be  ob- 
tained on  the  evidence  I  had  in  my 
possession.  I  believe  that  suits 
sihould  not  be  started  or  arrests 
made  unless  sufficient  evidence  is 
had  to  warrant  a  conviction,  as  in 
a  case  of  this  kind,  a  failure  to  con- 
vict might  be  detrimental  to  any 
cases  we  may  have  against  other 
places. 

T  am  advised  that  owing  to  the 
embarrassment  in  which  the  hotel 
in  question  was  placed  because  of 
the  adverse  criticism  and  notoriety 
given  to  the  fox  trot  club,  that  this 
club  is  now  closed  and  has  been 
closed  since  January  25,  1916.

Whereas,  There  is  a  proceeding 
pending  before  the  Board  O'f  Local 
Improvements  to  open  and  widen 
Laramie  avenue  between  Homer 
and  Moffat  streets,  Laramie  ave- 
nue being  a  half  section  line  street 
upon  which  a  street  car  line  runs 
from  West  12th  street  to  West 
Lake  street,  which  street  car  line 
eventually  will  be  extended  north; 
and 

Whereas,  Only  the  east  half  of 
Laramie  avenue  is  open  as  a  street 
between  MoiTat  istreet  and  Grand 
avenue;  and 

Whereas,  The  Chicago  Grain 
Elevator  Company  maintains  a 
switch  track  without  apparent  au- 
thority, across  North  Laramie  ave- 
nue, an  ordinance  to  legalize  which 
is  now  (pending  before  the  Local 
Industries  Committee  of  the  City 
Council,  and  the  Cragin  Elevators 
Company  maintains  two  switch 
tracks  across  Laramie  avenue,  for 
one  of  which  there  is  apparently  no 
authority;  and 

Whereas,  The  Cragin  Elevators 
Company  maintains  a  nuisance  in 
the  odors  emanating  from  the  plant 
of  the  said  company  while  renovat- 
ing decayed  grain,  and  as  we  are 
informed  bleaching  the  same,  and 
the  Chicago  Grain  Elevator  Com- 
pany proposes  to  establish  a  nuis- 
ance by  erecting  a  plant  for  the 
same  purpose;  and 

Whereas,  An  ordinance  is  in 
ipreparation  to  repeal  that  part  of 
the  ordinance  authorizing  the 
crossing  of  Laramie  avenue  by  one 
of  the  switch  tracks  oif  the  Cragin 
Elevators  Company,  and  orders  are 
in  preparation  to  cause  the  removal 
of  the  two  other  switch  tracks 
aforesaid;   now,   therefore,   be   it 

Resolved,  That  the  Citizens  Im-

does  hereby  petition  the  Board  of 
Local  Imiprovements  to  amend  the 
proceeding  now    pending    so     that

Whereas,    The    City    Council    of

adopt  the  following  resolution: 
"Be  It  Resolved,  That  the  Coun- 
cil instruct  the  General  Superin- 
tendent   of    Police    to    issue    an 
order  directing  the  police  officers 
of  this  city  that  before  any  officer 
shall  make  an  arrest  on  view  for 
violation  of  any  Municipal  Ordi- 
nance or  law  of  this  State,  pun- 
ishable by  fme  only,  and  not  by 
imprisonment,   such   officer   shall 
ascertain  the  name,  residence  and 
place  of  employment  or  business 
of  the  person  so  liable  to  arrest, 
and   if  satisfied  that  such  person 
has  a  permanent  home  or  place 
of  business,  or  a  steady  place  of 
employment,  t/O  give  such  person 
notice   in  writing  to  appear  be- 
fore some  branch  of  the  Municipal 
Court  al,  Min  opening  of  court  on 
the  following  morning,  instead  of 
taking  sneli  porson  in  custody. 


If   the   officer   is   not  satisfied 
with  the  information  obtained,  he 
should  take  such  person  to  the 
nearest  police  station,  and  it  shall 
be  the    duty    of    the    officer    in 
charge  of  the  station  immediately 
to   cause    to   be    ascertained   the 
name,  residence,  place  of  employ- 
ment or  business  of  such  person, 
and  if  satisfied  that  such  person 
has  a  permanent  home,  place  of 
business  or  a  steady  place  of  em- 
ployment, to  release  such  person 
upon  giving  him  or  her  notice  in 
writing  to   appear  as.  aforesaid. 
Provided,   however,    that    such 
order  shall  not  apply  to  cases  for 
the  violation  of  any  law  or  ordi- 
nance      prohibiting       gambling, 
carrying   concealed    weapon,    nor 
where  the  person  about  to  be  ar- 
rested   is    a    pickpocket  or  con- 
fidence man,   or  is  in  such  con- ^ 
dition  where  his  own  welfare  or 
the  welfare  of  the  community  re- 
quires that  he  be  kept  in  custody 
until  released  by  due  process  of 
law." 

And  whereas,  the  aforesaid  reso- 
lution does  not  cover  cases  where 
,a  person  has  been  taken  into 
custody  on  a  warrant,  or  where  a 
person  arrested  on  view  has  come 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court, 
and  where  a  continuance  is  granted, 
for  any  reason,  or  where  the  person 
arrested  insists  upon  a  jury  trial; 

Therefore  he  it  ordered.  That  the 
Committee  on  Judiciary  shall  confer 
with  whatever  officials  it  deems 
necessary  and  advisable  to  so  con- 
fer, whether  state,  county  or  city 
officials,  with  the  purpose  of  pro- 
viding the  same  conditions  for  all 
persons  arrested,  in  the  classes 
mentioned  in  the  aforesaid  reso- 
lution, whether  such  arrests  are  on 
view,  by  warrant,  or  where  a  con- 
tinuance is  granted,  or  a  jury  trial 
insisted  upon.

Veto:   Order  Designating  Name  for 
Municipal  Bath  and  Laundry. 

His  Honor  the   Mayor  submitted 
the  following  veto  message : 

Office  of  the  Mayor,") 
Chicago,  February  21,  1916.] 
To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council 
of  the  City  of  Chicago: 
Gentlemen — I    herewith   return, 
without    my    appproval,    an    order 
passed  by  your  Honorable  Body  on 
February   14,   1916,   and   appearing 
on  page  3257  of  the  Journal  of  the 
Proceedings  of  the  City  Council  of 
said   date,    whereby  the   Municipal 
Bath     Room    and    Laundry    being 
erected     on     North     Lincoln     and 
Augusta  streets  in  the  15th  Ward 
of  the  City  of  Chicago  is  named  the 
"Lincoln  Municipal  Bath  and  Laun- 
dry." 

I  withhold  my  'approval  of  the 
said  order  for  the  reason  that  a 
large  delegation  of  the  citizens  of 
the  15th  Ward,  together  with  a 
large  number  of  the  relatives  of  the 
late  Alderman  W.  Beilfuss,  who  for 
nineteen  years  served  the  people  of 
the  15th  Ward  as  a  member  of  your 
Honorable  Body  and  for  a  consider- 
able number  of  years  was  the 
Chairman  of  the  Small  Park  Com- 
mission, called  on  me  and  requested 
that  the  said  bathroom  and  laun- 
dry be  named  in  honor  of  the  late 
Alderman  Albert  W.  Beilfuss. 

In  view  of  this  request,  and  the 
fact  that  I  feel  the  citizens  of  Chi- 


cago are  indebted  to  the  late  Alder- 
man Albert  W.  Beilfuss  for  the 
faithful  public  service  rendered  by 
him  in  their  behalf,  I  deem  it 
proper  that  the  request  of  the  citi- 
zens of  the  15th  Ward  and  the  rela- 
tives of  the  late  Alderman  Beilfuss 
should  receive  the  careful  consid- 
eration of  your  Honorable  Body  be- 
fore definitely  deciding  upon  a  name 
for  this  municipal  bathroom  and 
laundry. 

I  therefore  recommend  that  the 
vote  by  which  this  order  was  passed 
be  reconsidered  and  that  the  said 
matter  be  referred  to  the  Committee 
on  Health  in  order  that  a  full  in- 
vestigation may  be  had  and  an  op- 
portunity given  to  the  people  of  the 
15th  Ward  to  acquaint  the  members 
of  your  Honorable  Body  with  their 
wishes  and  desires  regarding  the 
naming  of  the  municipal  bathroom 
and  laundry,  to  be  located  at  North 
Lincoln  and  Augusta  streets. 

Very  truly  yours, 
(Signed)     Wm.  Hale  Thompson, 

Mayor. 

Aid.  Healy  moved  to  reconsider 
the  vote  by  which  said  order,  vetoed 
by  His  Honor  the  Mayor,  was 
passed. 

The  motion  prevailed.

Chicago,  February  21,  1916.) 
To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council 

of  the  City  of  Chicago: 

Gentlemen — I  return  herewith, 
without  my  approval,  an  order 
passed  by  your  Honorable  Body  on 
the  14th  day  of  February,  1916,  and 
appearing  in  the  Journal  of  tne 
Council  Proceedings  of  said  date  on

page  3242,  directing  the  City  Comp- 
troller and  the  City  Treasurer  to 
pay  for  overtime  obligations  in- 
curred up  to  the  date  of  the  pas- 
sage of  this  order,  and  directing 
that  no  more  overtime  shall  be  paid 
in  any  department  except  where 
necessary  on  account  of  the  union 
scale  of  wages. 

I  withhold  my  'approval  of  this 
order  for  the  reason  that  I  am  ad- 
vised by  the  City  Collector  that  it 
is  necessary  for  employes  in  his  de- 
partment to  work  overtime  during 
certain  periods  of  the  year  in  qrder 
to  have  the  delinquent  roll  of  spe- 
cial  assessments  prepared  in  time 
to  turn  the  same  over  to  the  County 
Collector  by  the  1st  day  of  April  in 
each  and  every  year  as  required  by 
statute.  In  view  of  this  fact  it 
seems  to  me  that  it  is  unfair  to  ex- 
pect city  employes  to  perform  work 
for  the  city  without  compensation. 

I  therefore  recommend  that  the 
vote  by  which  the  said  order  was 
passed  be  reconsidered  and  that  the 
said  order  be  placed  on  file. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
(Signed)     Wm.  Hale  Thompson, 

Mayor.

Violations  of  Civil  Service  Law:

ALSO, 

The  following  communication: 
Office  of  State's  Attorney,) 
Chicago,  February  17,  1916.) 
To   the  Honorable,   the  Mayor  and 
City  Council  of  the  City  of  Chi- 
cago, City  Hall,  Chicago: 
Gentlemen — I    have   received    a 
complete     report     from     Assistant 
State's  Attorney  Marvin  E.  Barnhart 
in   reference   to   the    charges   pre- 
ferred by  the  City  Council  Commit- 
tee against  two  members  of  the  Civil 
Service  Commission  and  other  city 
oHicials,    for  violation  of  the  Civil 
Service  Law,  together  with  his  con- 
clusions. 

Mr.  Barnhart  met  with  the  sub- 


committee, its  attorney  Mr.  Francis 
X.  Busch,  and  also  conferred  with 
members  of  the  Civil  Service  Com- 
mission and  its  attorney  Mr.  Howard 
0.  Sprogle,  and  personallj^  examined 
the  records  of  the  Civil  Service 
Commission  and  other  necessary 
city  records. 

Some  of  the  charges  Mr.  Barnhart 
finds  are  not  well  founded,  and  that 
neither  the  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sioners or  other  city  officials  have 
been  guilty  of  any  criminal  viola- 
tions of  the  law. 

I  am  further  informed  that  other 
charges  are  involved  in  cases  now 
pending  in  the  Civil  Courts.  In 
some  instances  the  Civil  Service 
Commission  rests  its  acts  on  opin-, 
ions  of  previous  Corporation  Coun- 
sel Beale  and  Thornton.  In  other 
cases  they  claim  to  have  followed 
the  usual  practice  of  previous  Civil 
Service  Commissions,  and  the  prac- 
tice of  the  County  Civil  Service 
Commission  in  like  cases. 

With  reference  to  the  laying  off  of 
ten  boiler  inspectors'  helpers,  and 
the  subsequent  appointment  of  ad- 
ditional boiler  inspectors,  there 
seems  to  have  been  a  technical  vio- 
lation of  the  law  by  some  city  offi- 
cials, but  not  by  members  of  the 
Civil  Service  Commission,  their  sole 
duty  being  to  certify  appointments, 
whether  regular  or  temporary,  as 
being  regularly  on  the  list. 

The     head     of     the     department 
makes  the  temporary  appointments 
and  the  Comptroller  authorizes  the 
payment  of  salary  at  his  own  risk. 
The  Comptroller  has  furnished  us 
with  a  statement  of  the  appropria- 
tion for  the  Boiler  Inspector's  De- 
partment,   showing    also    disburse- 
ments  and  receipts,  and   take?:  the 
position  that  he  has  not  exceeded 
the     appropriation     provided     for 
salaries,  but  has  on  hand  an  unex- 
pended balance  of  over  six  thousand 
dollars    for    the   Boiler    Inspectors 
Department. 

There  seems  to  have  been  a  vio- 
lation of  the  penal  section  of  the 


February  21,  1916.

Civil  Service  Act,  and  perhaps  of 
Section  208  of  the  Statute  relating 
to  the  misconduct  of  officers.  It 
may  be  there  was  a  palpable  omis- 
sion of  duty  in  allov^ing  extra  boiler 
inspectors  to  be  paid  v^ithout  au- 
thority. But,  on  the  other  hand,  the 
appropriation  for  boiler  inspection 
was  not  exceeded,  and  all  the  money 
in  the  appropriation  was  used  for 
boiler  inspection,  and  resulted  in  an 
increased  revenue  to  the  city. 

I  do  not  feel  inclined  at  this  time 
to  initiate  any  proceedings  against 
the  Boiler  Inspector,  Mr.  Nye,  or 
the  Comptroller  Mr.  Pike,  in  view 
of  all  the  circumstances. 

As  to  the  other  suggestion  that 
a  proceeding  be  brought  against 
Boiler  Inspector  Nye  charging  him 
with  bribery  or  attempted  bribery,  I 
will  say  in  view  of  all  the  circum- 
stances (including  the  subsequent 
appointment  of  Bergen, .  the  dis- 
charged boiler  inspector's  helper,  as 
a  temporary  boiler  inspector)  that 
such  a  prosecution  would  be  ridicu- 
lous and  petty. 

It  was  charged  by  the  Civil  Ser- 
vice Commission  that  Alderman 
Charles  E.  Merriam,  or  others  as- 
sociated with  him,  in  spending  $25,- 
000  of  city  money  for  the  work  of 
the  Crime  Commission,  were  also 
guilty  of  violation  of  Section  208  re- 
lating to  public  officers,  and  guilty 
of  other  criminal  acts.  Perhaps  this 
is  so,  but  here  again,  ifi  view  of  all 
the  circumstances,  I  do  not  believe 
any  prosecution  should  be  initiated 
for  such  violations  of  the  law. 

These  charges  and  counter  charges 
seem  to  have  grown  out  of  a  bitter 
controversy  between  one  set  of  mu- 
nicipal officers  on  the  one  hand,  and 
another  set  of  municipal  officers  on 
the  other.  The  Civil  Service  Com- 
mission and  some  of  the  City  Coun- 
cil Committees  are  plainly  at  log- 
gerheads, but  I  do  not  believe  that 
their  quarrels  should  be  thrashed 
out  in  the  Criminal  Court,  nor  that 
the  State's  Attorney  office  should 
be  used  or  involved  in  political  or 


factional  controversies.  I  hope  that 
all  the  parties  concerned  will  be 
able  in  the  future  to  avoid  violations 
of  law  by  following  the  opinions  of 
the  Corporation  Counsel,  the  legal 
adviser  of  the  City  of  Chicago,  and 
its  municipal  officers. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  practically 
all  of  these  charges  were  first  made 
in  the  public  press  and  before  pri- 
vate unofficial  organizations,  I  can- 
not escape  the  conclusion  that  some, 
of  the  charges  were  not  made  seri- 
ously but  for  political  purposes. 

Very  truly  yours, 
(Signed)  Maclay  Hoyne, 

State's  Attorney.

legislate  to  prevent  the  sale  or 
serving  of  liquor  in  restaurants 
after  1:00  o'clock  A.  M.,  which  is 
now  done  by  authority  of  a  veirbal

''Ordered,  That  the  Corporation 
Counsel   prepare   and    submit   to 
the  City  Council  such  additional 
ordinances   as  may  be  necessary

it  should  legislate  on  this  subject  or 
any  other.  I  have  never  reported 
that  "the  City  Council  should  legist-

Mnopity  Report. 

In  connection  with  the  foregoing 
report,  Aid.  Wallace  presented  a  re- 
port of  a  minority  of  said  commit- 
tee, and  moved  that  said  report  he 
published  and  that  consideration 
thereof  be  deferred. 
The  motion  prevailed. 
The  following  is  said  minority 
report : 

Chicago,  February  21,  1916. 
To  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  in  City  Council 
Assembled: 

The  undersigned,  a  minority  of 
your  Committee  on  Harbors, 
Wharves  and  Bridges,  which  Com- 
mittee has  had  under  considera- 
tion the  matter  of  negotiating  with 
the  shore  owners  of  Lake  Calumet 
for  the  purpose  of  securing  the 
riparian  rights  of  said  shore  own- 
ers, beg  leave  to  report  and  recom- 
mend that  the  ordinances  on  this 
subject  recommended  by  the  ma- 
jority of  the  committee  be  re- 
referred  to  the  Committee. 

The  contract  referred  to  in  said 
ordinance  gives  to  the  Pullman  in- 
terests vast  tracts  of  submerged 
lands  and  other  larger  tracts  of  re- 
claimed or  partially  submerged 
lands  in  exchange  for  riparian 
rights. 

It  is  estimated  that  the  riparian 
rights  arc  worth  around  the  whole 
lake,  $150,000.00.  If  so,  it  would 
be  much  better  for  the  City  to  con- 
demn those  rights  and  pay  for 
them.  Then  the  City  would  own 
these    hundreds   of    acres    of   sub- 


merged and  reclaimed  lands  to  use 
as  now  provided  by  law,  or  for 
further  uses  as  may  be  later  au- 
thorized by  law. 

Evidence  as  to  hundreds  of  acres 
of  reclaimed  and  partially  sub- 
merged lands  was  presented  to  the 
Committee  at  one  of  the  meetings, 
but  was  only  briefly  noted  at  the 
time.  This  evidence  was  not  avail- 
able at  the  time  the  agreement  was 
voted  upon.  It  is  most  important 
that  this  evidence  be  submitted  to 
the  Committee  and  fully  explained 
in  detail. 

It  is  therefore  urged  that  the  en- 
tire subject-matter  be  re-referred 
to  the  Committee  on  Harbors. 
Wharves  and  Bridges  for  the  fol- 
lowing reasons: 

The  matter  has  not  been  fully 
discussed  in  Committee. 

Valuable  evidence  showing  hun- 
dreds of  acres  of  land  involved  has 
not  been  considered  by  the  Com- 
mittee. 

The  pending  plan  is  calculated  to 
defeat  the  best  interests  of  the  City, 
to  prevent  proper  harbor  develop- 
ment, to  give  a  railroad  monopoly, 
to  give  excessive  awards  to  the 
Pullman  Company  and  to  give  far 
greater  awards  than  is  yet  known 
to  the  Committee,  as  is  shown  by 
evidence  yet  unconsidered.  i 

The  riparian  rights  should  bei 
condemned  and  purchased,  the  re- 
sulting benefit  to  the  City— hun- 
dreds of  acres  of  Tand,  worth,  when 
reclaimed  by  the  excavations  of  the

quired  by  Sections  93,  95  and  97, 
Article  VII,  Chapter  24  of  the  Stat-' 
utes,  which  provide  that  the  Treas- 
urer shall  keep  account  of  the  "debts

Treasurer  the  duty  of  reporting  an- 
nually and  as  often  as  required  by 
the  City  Council  during  the  year  a

poration showing  the  balance  of 
money  in  the  Treasury  and  the  state 
of  the  Treasury  at  the  close  of  the

The  report,  therefore,  shows 
merely  the  amount  of  the  warrants 
paid  by  the  Treasurer,  the  total  of 
moneys  received  during  the  year  and

your  consideration,  that  sueh  action 
may  be  taken  by  your  Honorable

The  bid  also  contained  the  fol- 
lowing clause: 

"This  bid  is  made  upon  the 
basis  of  a  maximum  price  of 
twenty-one  cents  ($.21)  iper  gal- 
lon for  gasoline  and  the  bidder  if 
awarded  la  contract  agrees  to  give 
to  the  City  of  Chicago  a  reduction 
at  the  rate  of  one  dollar  ($1.00) 
per  lamp  per  year  for  each  one 
cent  ($.01)  the  market  price  of 
gasoline  in  Chicago  shall  be  below 
twenty-one  cents  ($.21),  in  any 
month  during  the  life  of  the  con- 
tract." 

In  the  foregoing  table  the  prices 
stated  in  the  first  column  were  sub- 
mitted on  the  basis  of  the  company 
receiving  but  a  portion  of  the  con- 
tract, while  in  the  second  and  third 
columns  the  prices  are  based  upon 
the  company  receiving  the  entire 
contract.    The  fourth  column  shows 


the  price  paid  for  this  service  dur- 
ing the  year  1915. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  com- 
pany submitted  the  'following  propo- 
sition in  their  bid : 

"The  American  Development 
Company  'further  agrees  to  make 
a  reduction  of  six  cents  ($.06) 
)per  lamp  pier  year  on  all  of  the 
foregoing  proposals  if  the  clause 
in  reference  to  'estimates'  re- 
ferring to  the  reservation  of  15% 
of  the  monthly  bills  can  be  eilim- 
inated  from  the  contract." 

Acceptance  of  this  proposition 
would  effect  an  additional  saving  of 
$822  from  prices  shown  in  column 
3  of  the  iabove-mentioned  table. 

A  similar  contract  was  submitted 
last  year  with  the  bid  of  this  com- 
pany and  authority  was  granted  by 
the  City  Council  for  the  elimination

of  the  15%  reservation  clause  from 
the  contract.  (See  Council  Pro- 
ceedings of  January  25,  1915,  page 
3160.) 

The  American  Devellopment  Com- 
pany is  at  present,  and  has  heen  for 
some  time  past,  furnishing  gas  and 
gasoline  lighting  service  to  the  city. 
They  have  done  the  work  in  an 
efficient  and  satisfactory  manner. 

A  surety  bond  of  $100,000  will  he 
required,  and  this  amount  will 
amply  protect  the  city.  | 

This  (Company  has  equipment 
necessary  for  the  furnishing  of  the 
service,  amounting  to  something  in 
excess  of  $100jOOO,  installed  on 
public  streets.  A  close  inspection 
is  being  made  on  the  service  and 
penalties  exacted  for  all  outages. 

I  believe  the  prices  quoted  are 
fair,  and  for  the  reasons  above 
stated  would  respectfully  suggest 
that  your  Honorable  Body  authorize 
the  Commissioner  of  Gas  and  Elec- 
tricity to  enter  into  a  contract  with 
this  company  foir  the  furnishing  of 
all  of  the  various  types  of  service 
outlined  above,  in  accordance  with 
its  proposals,  including  the  elimina- 
tion of  the  15%  reservation  iclause 
above  referred  to. 

Inasmuch  as  the  contract  dates 
from  January  Ist  and  no  bills  can 
be  paid  until  it  is  properly  approved, 
it  is  further  recommended  that  the 
order  be  passed  without  delay. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
(Signed)  William  G.  Keith, 

Commissioner.

Appropriation   Bill:   for  1916. 

ALSO, 

The  same  committee  submitted 
the  following  report,  together  with 
a  draft  of  an  appropriation  bill  for 
1916,  in  printed  form,  considera- 
tion of  which  was  deferred : 

Chicago,  March  1,  1916. 

To  the  Honorable,  the  Mayor  and 
Aldermen,  in  the  City  Council 
Assembled: 

Gentlemen — As  provided  by  law, 
the  annual  appropriation  bill  of 
sums  expendible  out  of  corporate 
funds  for  the  fiscal  year  commenc- 
ing January  1,  1916,  and  ending 
.December  31,  1916,  is  herewith  re- 
spectfully submitted  i  in  printed 
form  for  your  consideration.  Ap- 
propriation bill  covering  possible 
expenditures  out  of  the  water  fund 
during  the  same  period  will  follow 
as  quickly  as  possible. 

In  spite  of  the  limited  time  al- 
lowed, careful  consideration  has 
been  given  to  the  details  involved 
in  each  of  the  items  set  up  in  the 
estimates  of  the  departments  and 
the  Comptroller.  However,  this 
committee  feels,  as  it  has  felt  in 
the  past,  that  intelligent  budgetary 
control  cannot  be  attained  through 
the  "high  pressure"  methods  here- 
tofore in  vogue.  What  is  required 
is  a  study  of  municipal  and  depart- 
mental requirements  beginning  at 
the  date  of  passage  of  each  year's 
appropriation  bill  and  only  ending 
with  the  consideration  of  that  for 
the  next  year. 


The  Finance  Committee  has  not 
had  at  its  disposal,  save  through 
detail  from  city  departments,  a 
force  capable  of  aiding  it  in  this 
regard.  The  force  in  the  Comp- 
troller's office  has  been  charged 
with  a  mass  of  routine  work  which 
has  prevented  it  from  carrying  out 
the  constructive  auditing  and  ac- 
counting researches  which  the  law 
and   the  ordinances   contemplate. 

In  order  to  remedy  the  defects 
noted,  the  present  bill  carries  with 
it  a  provision  for  the  establishment 
of  an  expert  accounting  and  in- 
vestigating force  in  the  Comptrol- 
ler's office  divorced  from  routine 
work,  and  a  staff  under  this  com- 
mittee to  aid  it  throughout  the  year 
in  the  collection  of  data  and  in- 
formation regarding  matters  pend- 
ing before  it  and  the  proper  pre- 
paration of  future  budgets.  These 
two  forces,  working  in  harmony 
through  co-operation,  should  be 
able  to  place  before  your  Honorable 
Body  in  the  year  1917  a  sound  and 
scientific  appropriation  bill  for  that 
year,  and  thereafter  for  future 
years. 

A  radical  departure  has  been 
made  in  the  present  bill.  For  the 
first  time  in  many  years  the  ap- 
propriations are  within  the  esti- 
mated revenues  of  the  city.  In  ad- 
dition a  substantial  reserve,  viz., 
$1,479,073.67,  being  balance  of  aash 
on  hand  December  31,  1915,  is  set 
aside.  It  is  believed  that  strict 
economy  in  the  expenditure  of  sums 
allowed  to  various  departments  and 
the  adoption,  in,  whole  or  in  part, 
of  the  plans  for  consolidation  and 
standardization  suggested  in  the 
Comptroller's  .  estimate  will  result 
in  an  appreciable  addition  to  this 
reserve  at  the  end  of  the  present 
fiscal  year. 

The  reductions  required  to  be 
made  at  the  discretion  of  the  de- 
partment heads,  under  the  direction 
and  control  of  the  City  Comptroller, 
are  little,  if  any,  in  excess  of  the 
normal  annual  salvage.  The  plan 
evolved  avoids  the  demoralizing  ef- 


3368

feet  of  horizontal  reduction  in  sal- 
aries and  wages  and  gives  each  de- 
partment head  an  opportunity  to 
demonstrate  initiative  as  well  as 
executive  ability  and  efTicient  con- 
trol. 

The  policy  of  automatic  salary 
increase  from  group  to  group 
within  civil  service  grades  has 
again  heen  recognized  and  provision 
made  for  all  such  increases,  sub- 
ject 'to  seniority  and  efficiency. 
Time  has  demonstrated  that  the 
plan  of  group  advancement  does 
not  add  an  appreciable  burden  to  the 
eity  finances,  but  is  an  -incentive  to 
increased  individual  efficiency. 
Largely  through  the  adoption  of 
this  plan,  lobbying  for  increased  in- 
dividual salaries  is  a  thing  of  the 
past. 

A  new  departure  in  the  present 
appropriation  bill  is  the  provision 
for  satisfaction  of  judgments  which 
it    is    estimated    will    be    rendered 
against  the  city  during  the  present 
year,  and  the  further  provision  for 
the     satisfaction     of     outstanding 
judgments  in  the  order  of  their  en- 
try     The  amount  provided  there- 
^for  is  $300,000,  one-half  of  which 
is  for  past  obligations,  and  the  other 
half  for  possible  judgments  during 
the  year.     The  city  now  has  out- 
standing against  it  $686,589  in  past 
judgments   on   which    it   is   paying 
5%     interest.      By     following    the 
present  plan  in  future  budgets,  the 
city   will    be    free    from    judgment 
obiigations    within    the    next    five 
years. 

In  conclusion,  the  committee  de- 
sires to  express  its  thanks  to  the 
Citv  Comptroller,  the  Efficiency 
Division  and  the  heads  of  the  var- 
ious other  departments  for  their 
oo-o|peration  and  valuable  assist- 
ance' in  the.  preparation  of  this 
budget.  It  is  the  committee's  earn- 
est liope  that  the  City  Council  will 
adopt  this  appropriation  bill  as 
herewith  submitted. 

Yours  very  truly,

the  legal  power  to  conduct  or  cause 
to  be  conducted  an  investigation  in 
connection  with  which  witnesses 
are  called  to  give  testimony  under 
oath? 

2.  Does  the  act  of  causing  wit- 
nesses to  testify  under  oath  con- 
vert an  informal  inquiry  into  a 
judicial  inquisition  If  so,  what 
rights  and  authority  are  possessed 
by  thp  City  Council  or  its  Commit- 
tees to  act  in  the  capacity  of  a

hours'  notice  of  the  Committee 
meeting  (as  required  by  Rule  45)  to 
the  members  of  such  Committee?

gation in  connection  with  which

and  no  evidence  in  behalf  of  the  de- 
fendant, enter  a  finding  declaring 
that  the  defendant  is  guilty  of  the 
charges,  without  contravening  the 
legal  necessity  of  finding  the  de- 
fendant  guilty   by   due   process   of 

•   law?

going  to  conduct  it  as  chairman. 
Thomas  J.  Lynch  knows  something 
about  parliamentary  procedure,  and  \ 
Alderman  McCormick  made  a  mo- 
tion to  lay  your  motion  on  the  table 
and  he  has  the  right  to  explain  his 
reason  for  presenting  the  motion  to 
this  committee.

thority has  he  the  right — on  what 
authority  of  parliamentary  usage? 

The  Chairman  :  He  is  not  debat- 
ing the  question.  He  is  the  mover 
of  the  motion. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  will  tell  you  a 
motion  to  table  is  not  debatable. 

The  Chairman:  He  is  not  de- 
bating it.  He  has  the  right  to  give 
his  explanation. 

Ald.  DePriest:  He  has  not  a 
right. 

The  Chairman  :  That  is  my  rul- 
ing. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  are  ruling 
as  you  usually  do. 

Ald.  Stern  :  Are  you  trying  to 
block  this   investigation? 

Ald.  Klaus  :     Let's  shoot. 


Ald.  McCormick:  I  merely 
wanted  to  ask  the  question  whether 
there  had  been  a  roll  call  at  the 
opening  of  this  meeting. 

The  Chairman  :     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  And  the  vari-

swered to  that  roll  call.

the  motion  is  to  lay  on  the  table. 
You  all  understand  the  motion,  roll 
call.

Ald.  Miller:  I  move  to  table 
that  motion — to  lay  it  on  the  table. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Mr.  Chairman,  may 
I  have  a  few  words  to  say? 

The  Chairman  :     Proceed. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Mr.  Chairman,  as  I 
understand  it,  we  are  going  to  carry 
on  an  investigation  here.  I  would 
like  to  know  what  legal  rights  we 
have,  if  any,  and  I  would  make  a 
motion  to  send  for  the  Corporation 
Counsel  and  find  out  whether  we 
have  the  right  to  proceed,  the  legal 
right  to  proceed  with  this  or  not. 

Ald.  Martin  :  I  second  the  mo- 
tion.

let  me  call  attention  to  the  fact  that 
the  Civil  Service  Commission  is  go- 
ing to  meet  today  and  go  into  this. 
They  have  the  right  to  subpoena 
witnesses,  and  they  have  the  right 
to  do  things  that  this  committee  has 
not.  Now  I  am  friendly  to  the  ad- 
ministration, and  I  do  not  believe 
we  ought  to  do  anything  but  be 
fair,  and  I  do  not  believe  we  ought 
to  go  along  taking  testimony  here 
unless  it  is  going  to  be  of  benefit 
and  under  oath. 

The  Chairman  :  The  reason  you 
claim  we  have  no  right  is  because 
we  cannot  administer  the  oath.  I 
will  quote  from  the  Cities  and 
Villages  Act,  Section  16,  Article  6, 
defining  the  duties  and  powers  of 
officers. 

"The  Mayor  of  any  city  and  the 
Clerk  of  any  city  or  village  shall 
have  power  to  administer  oaths 
and  affirmations  upon  all  lawful 
occasions." 

Now  what  is  the  motion? 
Ald.  Blaha:     A  motion  to  send 
for  the  Corporation  Counsel. 

The    Chairman:      That    is    not 
germane. 

Secretary  Harrah  called  the  roll 
on  the  motion  of  Aid.  Miller  to  lay 
on  the  table  the  motion  of  Aid.  Mc- 
Gormick  to  hear  Mrs.  Eaton's  testi- 
mony, the  Aldermen  voting  as  fol- 
lows : 
Ald.  DePriest:     Aye. 

Ald.  Stern:     No. 
Ald.  Martin:    Aye. 
Ald.  McCormick:     No. 
Ald.  Klaus:     No. 
Ald.  Miller:     Aye. 
Ald.  Ellison  :     Aye. 
Ald.  Gnadt:     No. 
Ald.  Kennedy:     No. 
Ald.  McDermott:     Aye. 
Ald.  Blaha:     For  the  reasons  I 
have  stated  before  I  vote  aye. 


Secretary  Harrah  :  Yeas  6,  nays 
5.  Motion  to  lay  on  the  table  is 
carried. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  move  that  the 
Corporation  Counsel  be  sent  for  to 
give  us  a  legal  opinion. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  second  that 
motion,  Mr.  Chairman,  that  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  be  sent  for  to  give 
us  a  legal  opinion. 

Ald.    Gnadt  :      Mr.    Chairman,    I 
think  that  the  people  of  the  City 
of  Chicago,  whether  they  are  with 
the    administration   or   against   the 
administration,  are  desirous  of  go- 
ing  into   this   thing   and   having  a 
thorough  investigation. 
Ald.  Miller:     Under  oath. 
Ald.  Gnadt  :    Whether  we  have  a 
right  to  administer  the  oath  or  not 
makes  no  difference.    We  were  au- 
thorized by  the  City  Council,  and  as 
members    of   the    City    Council   we 
have  a  right  to  come  in  here  and  at- 
tempt to  do  our  duty  in  finding  out 
if   these    stories    and    these    things 
that  are  brought   to   our   attention 
are  true,  or  not.    If  we  cannot  take 
any  action  after  that;   let  us  refer* 
it  to  some  other  body;  but  let  us  go 
into  this  thing,  and  show  the  peo- 
ple that  we  are  on  the  square.   This    ■ 
business  here  this  morning  does  not 
look   to   be   on   the   square,    in  my 
estimation.      Now,   if  we  have  not 
any  right  to  send  people  to  jail  let 
us  nevertheless  find  out  if  there  is 
any    truth    in    this   matter.     If   we 
are    only    figureheads,    or    rubber 
stamps,  we  might  just  as  well  not  be 
here  at  all.    I  think  we  ought  to  go    t 
into  this  thing,   and  hear  the  •  vi- 
dence,  so  that  we  can  report  to  the 
City  Council  what  we  find,  and  lot 
them  take  action. 

Ald.  Miller:  Question,  Mr. 
Chairman. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mr.  Chairman, 
the  gentleman  Croin  the  'Vhwa 
Wai'd,  who  is  conducting  a  cam- 
paign and  trying  to  got  olocted  out 
there,  asked  me  a  question  a  wliilo 
ago.  and  I  am  going  to  take  this  op- 
portunity   to    answei'    it,    and    also

Speak  to  the  motion.  He  wanted  to 
know  if  I  wanted  to  block  the  in- 
vestigation. I  will  answer  him  very 
emphatically  right  now.  If  you 
think  that  I  am  going  to  let  you,  or 
anybody  else,  tell  me  what  to  do — 

Ald.  Stern  :  I  would  not  try  to 
tell  you. 

Ald.  DePriest:  This  is  a  Socia- 
listic anti-Thompson  combination 
that  is  trying  to  put  this  over,  but 
the  people  of  Chicago  aren't  going 
to  stand  for  it. 

Ald.  Miller:  We  will  take  the 
evidence,  but  it  will  be  under  oath. 
There  will  be  no  fourflushing. 

Ald.  DePriest:  We  want  to  find 
out,  and  I  think  the  people  of  Chi- 
cago want  to  find  out,  whether  we 
have  a  legal  right  to  go  into  this 
investigation  or  not.  I  want  to  act 
within  the  law,  and  being  a  member 
of  the  City  Council,  I  have  a  right, 
to  know  whether  I  am  acting  within 
the  law,  or  not.  The  only  proper 
person  to  give  us  the  legal  status  of 
this  case  is  the  Corporation  Counsel, 
the  Attorney  for  the  City  of  Chicago. 
The  gentleman,  has  made  a  motion 
that  the  Corporation  Counsel  be 
sent  for.  Now,  I  want  the  Corpora- 
tion Counsel  in  person,  and  not  any 
of  his  assistants. 

Ald.  Miller:  Question,  question, 
Mr.  Chairman. 

Ald.  Stern:     Mr.  Chairman. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Just  a  minute. 
I  am  on  the  floor. 

Ald.  Stern  :  Are  you  going  to 
talk  all  day? 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  going  to 
talk  until  I  get  ready  to  quit. 

Ald.  Stern:     All  right,  all  right. 

Ald.  DePriest:  We  want  to 
know  whether,  under  our  oaths,  we 
ourselves  are  acting  according  to 
law.  We  may  be  and  we  may  not 
be.  I  want  to  court  the  fullest  in- 
vestigation possible,  and  I  want  to 
say  for  myself,  if  the  evidence  jus- 
tifies it,  that  I  am  in  favor  of  going 
to  the  grand  jury  with  the  matter, 
and  if  Mrs.  Rowe  is  guilty  of  this 


nefarious  charge  against  her,  she 
ought  to  be  in  Joliet.  If  the  other 
lady,  whoever  she  might  be,  is 
guilty  of  any  conspiracy  against 
Mrs.  Rowe  or  anybody  else,  she 
ought  to  suffer  the  penalty  likewise. 
Let  the  chips  fly  where  they  will; 
we  do  not  care  whom  they  hit.  If 
they  are  going  to  hit  members  of 
the  City  Council,  let  them  hit  them. 

The  Chairman:  You  do  not  act 
that  way. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Well,  don't  you 
worry  about  me.  I  will  take  care 
of  Oscar  DePriest.  You  take  care 
of  yourself. 

The  Chairman:  I  can  take  care 
of  myself  very  readily. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  do  not  need 
any  of  your  assistance  to  take  care 
of  myself. 

The  Chairman:  And  I  do  not 
need  any  of  your  assistance  to  take 
care  of  myself,  let  me  tell  you  that. 

Ald.  DePriest:  All  right.  I 
think  we  first  ought  to  get  legal 
advice.  The  motion  made  by  the 
Alderman  was  for  that  purpose,  and 
I  want  to  vote  aye  on  it. 

Ald.  Miller:     Put  the  motion. 

The  Chairman  :  Just  a  moment, 
now.  Don't  be  in  such  a  hurry 
about  asking  for  the  question.  You 
have  asked  for  the  question  a  num- 
ber of  times.  Just  give  somebody 
else  an  opportunity  to  be  heard. 
Alderman  Stern,  do  you  desire  to 
be  heard? 

Ald.  Miller:    All  right. 

Ald.  Stern:  Mr.  Chairman,  this 
is  the  first  time  in  the  history  of 
this  committee,  wh'ere  an  investi- 
gation has  been  on,  where  there  has 
been  an. attempt  to  tie  up  the  in- 
vestigation. We  have  gone  into  the 
garment  workers'  strike,  and  gone 
into  the  police  department,  and  in- 
vestigated everything  that  has  come 
up.  Now,  I  think  it  is  the  duty  of 
the—

accomplish?

Ald.  Stern:  You  just  head  off 
until  I  get  through.  You  are  one  of 
.those  fellows. 

Ald.  Miller  :     No,  I  am  not. 
Ald.  Stern  :     Yes,  you  'are. 
Ald.  Klaus  :     Wait  a  moment. 
Ald.    Miller:      You    are    always 
hollering. 

Ald.  Stern:     Don't  worry  ahout 
me. 

The  Chairman:  Go  on,  go  on. 
Ald.  Stern:  There  is  a  serious 
charge  against  this  department, 
that  one  of  the  women  in  that  de- 
partment has  been  giving  away  her 
c-ash  coin  here  for  the  past  ten 
months. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  mean,  that 
is  the  charge. 

Ald.  Stern:  Now,  if  this  com- 
mittee is  on  the  square,  or  if  you 
are  on  the  square.  Alderman  De- 
Priest,  as  you  claim  you  are^ — 

Ald.  DePriest:  Do  you  say  that 
I  am  not? 

Ald.  Stern:  The  very  fact  that 
you  attempt  to  hlock  this  investi- 
gation shows  'that  something  is 
wrong  here. 

Ald.  DePriest:  What  do  you 
claim? 

Ald.  Stern  :  Do  you  claim  to  he 
representing  somebody? 

Ald.  DePriest:  No,  I  do  not 
claim  to  be  representing  anybody 
but  Oscar  DePriest— 

Ald.  Stern:  That  has.  been 
charged  here  right  along.  Why  not 
hear  the  evidence,  when  we  have 
been  doing  the  same  thing  here  for 
the  past  seven  months? 

Ald.  DePriest:  — and  that  is  all 
T  have  been  doing  since  I  have  been 
in  the  Council. 

Ald.  Stern:  You  Aldermen  here 
that  are  blocking  this  arc  going  to 
take  the  blame  for  it  before  you  get 
through. 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  T 
am  not  blocking  this  investigation, 
but  if  there  is  any  testimony  going 


to  be  taken  here,  it  is  going  to  be   j 
taken  under  oath. 

The  Chairman:  What  does  the  j 
Aot  say  that  we  just  read  to  you?  j 
It  says  that  the  Mayor  of  any  city, 
and  the  Clerk  has  power  to.  ad- 
minister the  oath. 

Ald.  Miller:  Let  us  be  on  the 
square,  and  cut  out  this  cheap 
newspaper  publicity  and  fourflush- 
ing,  and  get  down  to  business,  ac- 
cording to  law. 

The  Chairman  :  I  think  we  have 
the  power  there  to  administer  the 
oath,  and  that  is  all  we  need.  Why 
don't  you  adopt  that? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
do  not  see  why  we  need  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  to  tell  us  whether 
or  not  we  have  a  right  to  investi- 
g^ate.  That  has  been  conceded  in  \ 
every  case.  Now,  the  question  that  i 
should  be  understood  here  very  ' 
thoroughly  is  this,  whether  Alder- 
man DePriest  and  Alderman  Miller,  i 
speaking  for  the  Mayor,  do  not  want  i 
the  facts  to  be  made  public  in  this  i 
case.  If  he  cannot  stand  publicity,  } 
we  want  to  know  it,  and  the  ipeople  1 
of  the  city  want  to  know  it;  and  we  ; 
want  to  know  right  now  whether  ] 
these  gentlemen,  speaking  for  the  i 
Mayor,  want  to  suppress  this  in-  ' 
vestigation  at  the  present  time. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Do  you  want  ^ 
the  fact  on  that?  I  speak  repre-  ; 
senting  the  Second  Ward,  and  Oscar 
DePriest,  and  you  cannot  make  that  ; 
anybody  else.  You  cannot  put  me  : 
in  that  attitude,  Kennedy — 

Ald.  Kennedy:  We  want  to 
know    that. 

Ald.  DePriest:  — and  I  can  tell 
you  that. 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman.  Mr. 
Chairman — 

Ald.  Kennkdy:  Just  a  moment. 
I  have  the  Iloor.  Lot  it  be  \mder- 
stood  hero  by  the  Aldormon  who  are

only  one  purpose,  and  that  is  in  some 
way  to  sidetrack  this  investigation. 
We  know  what  they  want  to  get 
Ettelson  here  for.  We  know  that. 
Every  Alderman  on  this  committee 
who  votes  to  bring  Mr.  Ettelson 
down  here,  when  everybody  knows 
that  we  have  a  right  to  investigate, 
knows  that  it  is  just  an  effort  to  stall 
off  the  investigation,  to  stop  it,  to 
keep  the  facts  from  coming  to  light. 
Now,  if  you  want  to  go  on  record 
that  way  on  this  motion,  do  so,  and 
vote  to  bring  Mr.  Ettelson  down 
here,  to  see  if  he  cannot  kill  it  some- 
how.   That  is  the  purpose. 

Ald.  Miller  :  Mr.  Chairman,  that 
is  not  the  intention  at  all,  and  I  do 
not  want  this  man  here,  Alderman 
Kennedy,  to  put  words  in  my  mouth, 
or  any  other  Alderman's  mouth  who 
is  able  to  speak  for  himself,  as  to 
what  the  intention  is.  We  want  this 
evidence  under  oath;  and  if  all  this 
committee  is  on  the  square — and  I 
hope  they  are— I  am  ready  right 
now  to  go  before  the  grand  jury  with 
this  testimony. 

The  Chairman  :  What  testimony 
will  you  go  to  the  grand  jury  with? 
You  have  not  got  any  testimony. 

Ald.  Miller:     I  am  explaining  it. 

The  Chairman:  You  have  not 
got  any  testimony.  How  are  you  go- 
ing to  go  to  the  grand  jury  without 
any  testimony?  You  have  not  got 
any  testimony. 

Ald.  Miller:  Let  them  testify 
over  there,  but  let  us  have  it  under 
oath,  or  not  at  all. 

Ald.  DePriest:  May  I  answer 
that  question  that  you  asked  the 
gentleman? 

The  Chairman  :  No,  I  asked  the 
gentleman. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  You  do  not  want 
me  to  answer  it?  Are  you  afraid? 

The  Chairman  :  I  am  not  afraid 
of  you,  but  I  am  not  paying  any  at- 
tention to  you  at  this  moment.  I 
am  paying  attention  to  Alderman 
Miller. 


Ald.  DePriest  :  Well,  have  I  the 
floor? 

The  Chairman  :     Certainly. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Now,  pay  some 
attention  to  me.  The  question  was 
asked  by  Aid.  Kennedy,  the  Socialis- 
tic member  of  this  Council — and  I 
am  not  going  to  pay  any  attention 
to  the  galleries — if  we  were  trying 
to  block  this  investigation.  I  court 
the  fullest  investigation,  but  let  us 
put  somebody  under  oath,  so  that  if 
perjury  is  committed,  the  State's 
Attorney  can  act.  Now,  anybody  who 
is  willing  to  testify  before  this  com- 
mittee ought  to  be  willing  to  testify 
under  oath,  administered  by  a 
proper  official,  in  a  hearing  that  is 
conducted  by  a  body  that  has  a  legal 
right  to  investigate.  I  say  the  only 
body  that  has  a  legal  right  to  in- 
vestigate, if  there  are  any  charges  of 
graft  or  violations  of  the  law,  is 
the  grand  jury.  Let  the  gentlemen 
who  presented  the  resolution  to  the 
City  Council,  and  the  lady  who  gave 
the  money,  so-called,  and  the  gentle- 
man that  made  the  affidavit,  what- 
ever his  name  might  be, — let  all  of 
those  go  before  the  grand  jury,  and 
be  properly  heard;  and  if.  the  evi- 
dence justifies  it,  there  will  be  an 
indictment  voted,  and  they  will  be 
brought  to  trial  in  the  Criminal 
Court,  and  if  proven  guilty,  they  will 
go  the  way  that  all  other  crooks  go. 
Any  man  who  is  not  willing  to  go 
before  an  inquisitorial  body  of  that 
kind  should  not  be  willing  to  come 
before  this  committee,  where  he  is 
not  placed  under  oath,  and  where 
his  testimony  has  no  weight  with  it, 
and  is  nothing  for  which  he  can  be 
prosecuted  for  perjury.  He  ought  to 
be  willing  to  go  before  the  grand 
jury  with  it,  and  not  bring  it  here. 
If  the  members  of  this  committee 
are  not  trying  to  play  some  cheap 
politics,  and  not  trying  to  help  some 
fellow  out  in  their  ward,  like  Stern 
over  here,  and  some"  of  the  rest  of 
these  fellows  that  are  treading  on 
thin  ice  and  dangerous  ground  in 
their  territories,  they  will  be  willing 
to  submit  this  to  the  proper  body.

that  can  give  it  the  proper  investi- 
gation. 

The  Chairman  :  Just  a  moment. 
Has  this  committee  not  received  or- 
ders from  the  City  Council  to  con- 
duct this  investigation,  Aid. 
DePriest? 

Ald.  DePriest:  This  committee 
received  orders  to  do  several  things 
it  had  no  right  to  do. 

The  Chairman:  Has  it  not  re- 
ceived an  order  in  this  particular 
case? 

Ald.   DePriest:     I. will  cite  one 
instance:     This  committee  received 
orders   from   the   City   Council   last 
spring  to  investigate  the  Board  of 
Education.     There  was  a  sub-com- 
'  mittee   appointed,   and  you  were  a 
member  of  the  committee,  if  I  am 
not  mistaken,  and  so  was  I.   The  Le- 
gal Department  of  the  City  of  Chi- 
cago said  we  had  no  legal  right  to 
do  it.  The  attorney  for  the  Board  of 
Education  said  we  had  no  legal  right 
to  do  it.     It  is  now  being  thrashed 
out  in  court.    The  members  of  this 
committee  are  not  all  of  legal  minds, 
like  the  dead  Chairman,  and  they  do 
not  all  possess  a  bushel  of  brains, 
like  the  chairman  of  this  committee. 
The  Chairman  :     Or  yourself. 
Ald.  DePriest:     Well,  thank  God, 
mine   do  not  compare  with  yours. 
Yours  is  a  legal  brain,  and  mine  is 
a  brain  of  an  ordinary  layman. 

The  Chairman  :     Pat  yourself  on 
the  back. 

Ald.  DePriest:  And  your  mind 
is  a  legal  mind. 

The  Chairman:  Pat  yourself  on 
the  back. 

Ald.  DePriest:  True.  Thank 
God,  T  am  not  a  lawyer. 

The  Chairman:  Well,  you  had 
better  pat  yourself  on  the  back. 

Ald*  DePriest:  But  we  are  en- 
titled to  legal  instructions.  T  once 
asked  the  chairman  of  this  commit- 
iee  at  one  time  a  question  along  legal 
lines,  and  he  said,  "I  have  not  been 
retained  to  givo  yon  any  legal  advice, 


Alderman."  Now,  I  want  a  man  I 
know  to  give  me  legal  advice,  and  I 
am  asking  it  for  that  purpose. 

The  Chairman  :  I  have  stated  to 
you  that  the  Council  has  ordered  us 
to  do  a  certain  thing,  ordered  us  to 
conduct  this  investigation. 

Ald.  DePriest:     This  is  not  the 
first  time  the  Council  has  ordered 
us  to   do  something  that  the  Cor- 
poration  Counsel  and  other   attor-    ; 
neys  said  was  not  legal. 

The  Chairman:     Well,  it  is  our    . 
duty  to  conduct  this  investigation. 
Ald.    DePriest  :      If   we   have   a 
legal  right  to  do  it. 

The  Chairman  :  And  report  back  i 
to  the  council. 

Ald.  DePriest:  If  we  have  a  i 
legal  right  to  do  it.  Where  do  we  i 
get  our  legal  right? 

Ald.  Gnadt:    From  the  Council.   I 
Ald.  Kennedy  :     Will  you  kindly.  | 
read  the  section  that  you  read  first,    I 
regarding   the   oath?     Just  let  the 
committee  hear  that. 

Secretary  Harrah:  "The  Mayor 
of  any  city  and  the  Clerk  of  any  city 
or  village,  shall  have  power  to  ad- 
minister oaths  and  affirmations 
upon  all  lawful  occasions." 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Now,  Mr.  Chair- 
man, we  are  just  going  to  see 
whether  these  gentlemen  are  bluf- 
fing, or  not. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  will  find 
out  on  roll  call  what  I  will  do. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  I  am  ready  to 
make  a  motion  just  as  soon  as  this 
one  to  call  in  Mr.  Ettelson  is  laid 
on  the  table,  as  it  should  be.  I  will 
make  a  motion  to  call  in  the  City 
Clerk  Mr.  Siman,  to  administer  the 
oath  to'  all  of  the  witnesses,  includ- 
ing Mrs.  Eaton  and  others.  Now, 
if  we  want  to  hear  witnesses  testi- 
fying under  oath,  we  can  do  it  in 
just  above  tlve  minutes,  and  proceed 
without  any  red  tape.  We  will  see 
whether  this  is  a  bluff,  or  an  at- 
tempt to  stop  the  investigation.  1 
move    to    lay   that   motion    on   the

table,  regarding  calling  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel. 

Ald.  Blaha:  May  I  ask  the  Ald- 
erman one  question? 

Ald.  Kennedy:     Certainly. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Has  this  commit- 
tee, in  your  opinion,  the  right  to 
subpoena  witnesses? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  The  witnesses 
are  here.  We  do  not  need  to  sub- 
poena them. 

The  Chairman:     Yes. 

Ald.  Blaha:  We  do  not  know 
whether  they  are  all  here,  or  not. 
They  may  be  here  for  just  one  side. 
We  would  just  like  to  know 
whether  they  have  a  right  to  sub- 
poena witnesses.  I  am  asking  if  we 
have  that  right 

Ald.  Kennedy:  That  question  is 
irrelevant.  It  has  nothing  to  do 
with  the  matter,  because  the  wit- 
nesses are  here. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  There  may  be  wit- 
nesses we  want  to  hear,  and  they 
have  refused  to  come  in. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  It  will  be  time 
enough  to  cross  that  bridge  when 
we  get  to  it. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Have  we  got  the 
power? 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Have  we  got  the 
power  to  summon? 

Ald.  Kennedy  :    Never  mind  that. 

Ald.  DePriest:  We  haven't  any 
power  to  summon. 

Ald.  Blaha:  There  is  no  use 
stalling. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Well,  you  are 
trying  to  stall  again.  The  wit- 
nesses are  here,  ready  to  testify 
under  oath. 

Ald.  DePriest:  How  many?  For 
all  sides,  or  one  side? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  If  you  have  not 
got  your  witnesses  here,  it  is  your 
fault. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  haven't  any 
witnesses. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  The  other  side 
is  ready  to  testify.     Mr.  Chairman, 


I  move  to  lay  lon  the  table  the  mo- 
tion to  call  for  the  Corporation 
Counsel. 

Ald.  Gnadt:  I  second  the  mo- 
tion. 

Ald.  DePriest:     Mr.  Chairman. 

The  Chairman:  Now,  if  the 
Chairman  was  unfair,  he  would  rule 
you  out  of  order,  Aid.  De  Priest,  but 
the  Chairman  desires  to  be  fair. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  rose  before,  to 
inquire  if  anybody  had  seconded 
that  motion. 

The  Chairman:  The  gentleman 
seconded  the  motion. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Did  the  gentle- 
man address  the  Chair  to  make  the 
motion? 

The  Chairman:  Yes.  He  said, 
"how  do  you  do,  Mr.  Chairman?" 

Ald.  DePriest:  He  said  nothing 
of  the  kind.  There  is  no  reason 
why  you  should  not  tell  the  truth 
once  in  a  while.  Maybe  he  did  sec- 
ond the  motion,  but  he  did  not 
properly  arise  and  address  the 
Chairman,  and  make  that  motion 
as  he  should  have  done. 

The  Chairman:  But  the  chair- 
man recognized  him. 

Ald.  DePriest:  The  chairman, 
at  least,  can  tell  the  truth  once  in 
a  while. 

The  Chairman:  The  chairman 
recognized  him. 

Ald.  DePriest:     I  have  the  floor. 

The  Chairman  :  I  will  give  you 
the  floor. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Thank  you. 
Now,  Mr.  Chairman,  I  want  to  say 
in  answer  to  Aid.  Kennedy — he 
states  that  the  City  Clerk  has  the 
right  to  administer  oaths.  Yes,  on 
proper  occasions,  on  matters  that 
this  City  Council  have  a  right  to 
investigate;  but  the  question  is 
raised  here,  have  we  a  legal  right? 
If  we  have  the  legal  right,  I  will 
say  that  Mr.  Siman  is  the  proper 
person  to  send  for.  Don't  you  think 
that  my  game  is  a  four-flushing 
game.

Ald.  Kennedy:  I  don't  think  so; 
I  know  it  is. 

Ald.  DePriest:  And  don't  you 
think  for  a  minute  that  you  can 
intimidate  me.  I  will  go  on  rec- 
ord, the  Municipal  Voters'  League 
to  the  contrary  notwithstanding,  or

Ald.  McGormick:  Try  to  stop 
the  investigation,  Oscar;  try  to  stop 
it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Don't  worry 
about  that.  Mr.  Chairman,  you 
have  recognized  the  motion  to  lay 
on  the  table? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  It  looks  pretty 
bad,  when  you  are  trying  to  sup- 
press it. 

The  Chairman  :  Yes,  Aid.  De- 
Priest. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Is  that  motion 
before  the  house? 

The  Chairman:     Yes. 
Ald.    DePriest:       Then    I    will 
yield  the  floor,  and  let  us  proceed 
to  vote. 

The  Chairman:  Read  the  mo- 
tion, Mr.  Secretary. 

Secretary  Harrah:  Aid.  Mille'r's 
motion  is  that  the  committee  send 
for  the  Corporation  Counsel,  for 
the  purpose  of  ascertaining. whether 
the  committee  has  the  right  to 
proceed  with  this  investigation. 
Aid.  Kennedy  moves  to  table  the 
motion. 

The  Chairman  :  Roll  call  on  the 
motion  to  table.  Proceed  with  the 
roll  call. 

Secretary  Harrah  then  called  the 
roll,   the    members   voting    as    fol-

Ald.  Gnadt:     Aye. 
Ald.  McDermott:     No. 
Ald.  Kennedy:     Aye. 
Ald.  Blaha:     No. 
The    Chairman:      Six   yeas,    five 
nays.     The   motion   to   lay  'on   the 
table  is  carried.  Now,  Aid.  Kennedy. 
Ald.  Kennedy:     I  move  that  the 
City  Clerk  be  requested  to  com'e  to 
this  hearing,  in  order  to  administer 
the  oaths  to  the  witnesses. 

Ald.  Klaus:     I   second  the  mo- 
tion. 

The  Chairman:   The  motion  has 
been  made  and  seconded. 

Ald.    DePriest:      I    want    a  roll 
call  on  that. 

Ald.    Miller:      Mr.    Chairman,   I 
would   like   to   have   the   Secretary 
re^ad  the  law,  the  Civil  Service  law. 
with   reference   to   the   power   thai 
was  granted  to  them  by  the  Legislaf 
ture,    pertaining    to    witnesses.      M 
would  like  that  part  or  section  t(^ 
be  put  in  the  record. 

The   Chairman:      The   Secretai 
will  read  the  section. 

Ald.  McCormick:    Mr.  Chairm? 
before  that  is  read,  may  I  ask  th( 
Alderman  a  question? 
Ald.  Miller:     Yes,  sir. 
Ald   McCormick:     I  notice  there 
is    an   envelope   here    addressed  to 
you,  'and   there  was   a   similar  one 
that   is   being  handed   to   Aid.  De- 
Priest. 

Ald.  DePriest:  And  one  to  you, 
too.  Aid.  McCormick. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Reading  "From 
Frederick  Lundin". 

The  Chairman  :  And  on>e  to  the 
Chairman. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  wanted  to 
know  whether  they  contained  your 
instructions,  or  not. 

Ald.  Miller:  No,  they  do  not, 
and  I  have  not  called  for  any  in- 
structions from  the  Alderman  from 
the  Sixth  Ward,  either.

Want  to  first  mention  that  when  the 
gentleman  was  Chairman  of  the 
County  Board,  he  raised  more 
trouble  over  there  and  did  less 
business  over  there,  as  the  Presid- 
'Ont  of  it,  than  ever  before.  Now, 
you  may  be  used  to  receiving  in- 
structions, but  I  am  not.  No  man 
living  instructs  me.  I  do  not  know 
who  gives  you  yours.  None  of  your 
highbrow  tactics  will  work  down 
here.  Take  them  out  in  the  Sixth 
Ward,  where  they  belong. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Mr.  Chairman, 
I  was  fig^hting  crooks  and  crooked- 
ness on  the  County  Board,  ^and  I  am 
still  engaged  in  fighting  crooks  and 
crookedness  right  here.  I  am  fight- 
ing them  right  here,  when  men 
come  in  here  and  try  to  stop  an  in- 
vestigation, where  bribery  and  cor- 
ruption come  in;  and  I  will  con- 
tinue to  fight,  whether  it  is  ap-- 
proved  by  the  Alderman  of  the 
Second  Ward,  and  the  Mayor  of  the 
City  of  Chicago,  or  whoever  it  may 
be. 

Ald.    DePriest:      That 
weak  interpretation  only. 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Cbairman,  I 
<3ibject  to  that  slur,  "crooks  and 
crookedness."  It  does  not  matter 
who  he  is;  if  there  is  any  crook  or 
;  any  crookedness  here,  let  us  dis- 
perse this  meeting;  but  if  we  are 
men  and  gentlemen,  let  us  continue 
the  hearing.  That  is  where  I  stand. 
I  can  take  care  of  myself,  without 
your  assistance. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Well,  that  is 
what  we  are  asking,  to  have  this 
meeting  continued. 

Ald.  Miller  :  Under  o'ath,  we  will 
continue  it.  I  am  not  objecting  to 
it.  I  have  got  as  clean  a  record  as 
you,  or  .anybody. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Your  record  is 
perfectly  dlear;  you  have  not  done 
a  thing  to  stop  this.  Aid.  Miller. 
This  man  DePriest  is  leading  you 
into  bad  company. 

Ald.  Miller:  No,  he  is  not,  and 
you  are  not,  either.  I  do  not  have 
to  be  led  by  anybody.

Ald.  DePriest:  Now,  I  am  not 
going  to  let  Aid.  McCormick  get 
away  with  any  of  that  hot  air  down 
here. 

The  Chairman:  The  gentleman 
desires  to  reply. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Cut  it  out  now, 
and  let  us  get  down  to  'business. 

The  Chairman:  Order,  order. 
Let  us  have  order. 

Ald.  Miller:  If  the  Chairman 
does  not  protect  me,  I  will  protect 
myself. 

The  Chairman:  I  will  protect 
you,  Aid.  Miller.    I  will  protect  you. 

Ald.  Miller:  Don't  worry  about 
me. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  I  want  to  serve 
notice  on  the  members  of  this  com- 
mittee right  now  that  I  am  not  go- 
ing to  .start  any  libel  suit.  If  any 
member  of  this  committee,  or  any- 
body else,  impugns  my  veracity,  I 
will  take  personal  satisfaction  on 
him,  that  is  what  I  will  do,  and  that 
applies  to  Aid.  McCormick,  or  any- 
body else. 

Ald.  McCormick:  All  right,  any 
time,  DePriest. 

The  Chairman:  Let  everybody 
start;  let's  all  start. 

Ald.  DePriest:  If  anything 
starts,  I  will  be  in  it. 

The  Chairman:  Yies,  and  there 
will  be  a  whole  lot  more  besides  you 
in  it. 

Mr.  Stedman  :  Cut  out  the  five- 
cent  heroics. 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
object  to  this  gentleman  accusing  us 
of  being  five-cent  heroics. 

Mr.  Stedman  :  That  is  what  you 
are. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  object  to  that. 
You  are  not  'a  member  of  this  com- 
mittee, and  you  will  be  put  out  if 
you  do  not  keep  order. 

The  Chairman  :  Do  you  wish  to 
make  an  answer  to  Aid.  McCormick, 
Aid.  DePriest? 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  have  got  the 
floor,  Mr.  Chairman.

The  Chairman  :  You  have  got  it 
for  one  particular  purpose. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Yes,  and  I  am 
going  to  answer  the  gentleman. 

The  Chairman  :     All  right. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  want  to  inform 
this  gentleman  that  the  Mayor  of 
the  City  lof  Chicago,  since  I  have 
been  a  member  of  the  City  Council, 
has  never  yet,  either  directly  or  m- 
directly,  requested  me  to  vote  for  or 
against  any  measure  before  the 
Council,  .and  nobody  else  b as  'ever 
requested  it.  I  am  not  in  the  habit 
of  letting  anybody  tell  me  what  to 

do- 

Ald.  Kennedy  :    You  don  t  need  a 

boss. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  keep  quiet, 
you  Socialistic  candidate  over  there. 
I  lam  not  worrying  about  you.  I 
don't  need  any  coiaching  from  you, 
either,  you  know.  The  territory  I 
come  from  doesn't  send  men  to  the 
Council  that  need  coaching.  I  am 
willing  to  put  my  record  up  against 
Aid.  McCormick.  He  hollers  about 
how  he  fought  crooks.  Yes,  he 
fought  them  so  hard  that  at  last  the 
dear,  good  people  of  Chicago  re- 
tired him;  they  were  tired  lof  him. 
They  retired  him  because  they  did 
not  want  him  to  represent  them  as 
the  President  of  the  County  Board 
any  more. 

Ald.  Kennedy  :     That  is   all  'Out 
of  order. 

Ald.    McCormick:      Let    him    go 
'ahead. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Don't  worry 
about  that.  I  served  two  terms  as 
a  member  of  the  County  Board  of 
Commissioners,  and  we  constructed 
one  of  the  best  public  edifices  ever 
constructed  in  the  City  of  Chicago, 
without  one  hint  of  graft  connected 
with  it.  When  the  Alderman  was 
President  of  the  County  Board 
charges  of  graft  flew  thick  and  fast, 
backwards  and  forwards.  I  don't 
know  who  Was  right,  but  he  says  ho 
was,  and  I  hope  he  was.  Bettor 
right  once  than  never.  But  tho 
only  thing  I  have  to  say  is  this.     T 


once  heard  a  story  that  ran  like 
this :  There  was  a  mule  kicked  an 
old  woman,  and  somebody  asked  her 
why  she  did  not  have  the  mule  shot. 
She  replied,  "What  is  the  use?  The 
fool  doesn't  know  any  better."  Aid. 
McCormick  does  not  know  what  he 
is  talking  about  when  he  talks  about 
graft  down  here. 

The  Chairman  :  Call  the  roll  on 
calling  the  City  Clerk.  Read  the 
motion.  The  Secretary  will  read 
the  motion. 

Secretary  Harrah:     The  motion, 
is  that  the  City  Clerk  be  asked  ' 
attend  the  meeting  for  the  purpos( 
of  administering  oaths  to  the  wH 
nesses. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mr.  Chairman,,] 
there  is  no  lobjection  to  that.  There 
is  no  necessity  for  a  roll  call. 

Ald.  Miller:  There  is  no  objec-] 
tion  to  that. 

The    Chairman  :      Call    the   roUj 
You  have  had  plenty  of  roll  calls,*:" 
and  we  will  give  you  another  one.    . 

Secretary  Harrah  then  called

follows :

Ald.  Stern:     Aye. 

Ald.  Martin:     Aye.

Ald.  Buck:     Aye. 

Ald.  Blaha  :     Aye.

Ald.  Martin:  Mr.  Cliairman,  I 
desire  to  ask  tho  Chairman  a  ques- 
tion, now,  before  we  proeced  any 
furtlior. 

Tin:  CiiAnmAN:  All  right.  What 
is  the  question? 

Ald.  Martin:  T  want  to  know

testimony  of  these  people  who  are  to 
be  heard  before  this  committee? 

The  Chairman  :  The  reporter 
for  the  committee. 

Ald.  Martin  :  Who  is  the  gentle- 
man? 

The  Chairman  :  Mr.  Norton,  or 
Mr  Norton's  man  there. 

x\LD.  Martin  :  All  right.  That  is 
all  I  want  to  know. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Mr.  Chairman,  T 
move  that  Mrs.  Eaton  be  the  first 
witness  to  be  heard. 

Ald.  Buck  :     I  second  the  motion. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mr.  Chairman, 
there  is  no  objection  to  whoever  the 
gentleman  wants  to  hear  first.  We 
can  hear  Mrs.  Eaton  or  anybody  else, 
Mr.  Chairman.  There  is  no  possible 
objection  to  that  at  all. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  Mr.  Chairman 
if  it  is  in  order,  I  suggest  that  we 
go  into  the  Council  Chamber,  where 
we  will  have  more  air  and  more 
space. 

The  Chairman  :  We  will  have  to 
make  arrangements  in  order  to  ob- 
tain that. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  think  there 
will  be  no  objection. 

The  Chairman  :  We  will  have  to 
obtain  permission  either  from  the 
Mayor,  or  the  City  Clerk,  or  the 
Commissioner  of  Public  Works. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Well,  Mr. 
Chairman,  before  we  begin  again,  1 
would  like  to  renew, my  motion,  if 
it  is  possible  to  do  so,  that  we  trans- 
fer our  activities  to  the  Council 
Chamber,  and  if  it  is  necessary  to 
obtain  permission  from  the  Mayor 
or  the  Commissioner  of  Public 
Works. 

Ald.  Klaus  :     I  second  the  motion. 

The  Chairman  :  You  have  heard 
the  motion.  Are  you  ready  for  the 
question?  All  in  favor  of  the  motion 
signify  by  saying  aye.  Contrary- 
minded,  if  any,  by  no.  The  motion 
is  carried. 

Ald.  Kennedy:     In  the  meantime, 


Mr.  Chairman,  I  move  that  we  pro- 
ceed. 

Ald.  Buck  :     I  second  the  motion. 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
ask  the  Clerk  to  read  this:  Section 
33  of  An  Act  to  Regulate  the  Civil 
Service  of  Cities,  approved  March 
20,  1895,  compelling  the  testimony 
of  witnesses,  production  of  books 
and  papers. 

Secretary  Harrah  read  the  follow- 
ing: 

"Sec.  33.  Compelling  Testi- 
mony OF  Witnesses. — Produc- 
tion OF  Books  and  Papers.]  Any 
person  who  shall  be  served  with  a 
subpoena  to  appear  and  testify  or 
to  produce  books  and  papers,  is- 
sued by  the  commission  or  by  any 
commissioner  or  by  any  board  or 
person  acting  under  the  orders  of 
the  commission  in  the  course  of 
an  investigation  conducted  either 
under  the  provisions  of  Section  12 
or  Section  14  of  this  act,  and  who 
shall  refuse  or  neglect  to  appear 
or  to  testify,  or  to  produce  books 
and  papers  relevant  to  said  in- 
vestigation, as  commanded  in  such 
subpoena,  shall  be  guilty  of  a 
misdemeanor,  and  shall,  on  con- 
viction, be  punished  as  provided 
in  Section  34  of  this  act.  The  fees 
of  witnesses  for  attendance  and 
travel  shall  be  the  same  as  the 
fees  of  witnesses  before  the  cir- 
cuit courts  of  this  state,  and  shall 
be  paid  from  the  appropriations 
for  the  expenses  of  the  commis- 
sion. Any  circuit  court  of  this 
state,  or  any  judge  thereof,  either 
in  term  time  or  vacation,  upon 
application  of  any  such  commis- 
sioner or  officer  or  board,  may  in 
his  discretion  compel  the  attend- 
ance of  witnesses,  the  production 
of  books  and  papers,  and  giving  of 
testimony  before  the  commission, 
or  before  any  such  commissioner, 
investigating  board  or  officer,  by 
attachment  by  contempt  or  other- 
wise, in  the  same  manner  as  the 
production  of  evidence  may  be

Ald.  Gnadt:    Mr.  Chairman,  then^ 
is  not  a  word  in  tliat  law  Ihere  llial 


deprives  this  committee  of  doing  the 
work  they  are  asked  to  do  by  the 
City  Council.  It  states  the  law  with 
reference  to  the  Civil  Service  Com- 
mission, but  it  does  not  say  one 
word  anywhere  that  we  have  not  a 
right  to  get  voluntary  witnesses  and 
have  them  testify  here,  and  bring  a 
report  back  to  the  Council.  There 
is  nothing  there  that  interferes  with 
our  work.    I  move  we  proceed. 

Ald.  Miller  :  I  do  not  want  any- 
thing that  is  illegal,  but  I  want  to 
go  along  according  to  this  rule. 

The    Chairman:     Is   Mrs.  Eaton 
here? 
.  Mrs.  Eaton  :     Yes,  sir. 

Mr.  Stedman  :  Mr.  Chairman,  if 
I  may  have  the  ear  of  the  committee, 
I  might  say  that  two  of  the  witnesses 
have  been  subpoenaed  by  the  com- 
mission, whom  we  requested  to  come 
here;  and  I  have  been  subpoenaed 
as  a  witness  also.  The  two  witnesses 
are  up  there,  and  I  told  the  commis- 
sion that  we  would  change  off  be- 
tween the  two,  so  that  both  bodies 
can  get  through  and  operate  at  the 
same  time.  When  Mrs.  Eaton  is 
through  here  she  will  go  there;  and 
in  the  meantime  the  other  wit- . 
nesses  will  be  heard. 

City  Clerk  Siman  :  Mr.  Chair- 
man, Mr.  Thompson  is  not .  in.  I; 
called  up  Mr.  Moorhouse,  and  he 
sanctions  the  use  of  the  Council 
Chamber  for  this  committee  meet- 
ing. 

THE  Chairman:  We  will  ad- 
journ, then,  to  the  Council  Chamber. 
Thereupon  the  committee  trans- 
ferred its  meeting  to  the  Council 
Chamber,  after  which  the  hearing 
was  resumed,  and  the  following  pro- 
ceedings were  had: 

The  Chairman:  Are  we  ready  to 
proceed?  Hearing  no  objection,  wo 
will  proceed.  Swear  the  witness. 
])lease,  Mr.  Clerk. 

City  Clerk  Stman  :  Mrs.  Eaton,

whole   truth,    and   nothing  but   the 
truth,  so  help  you  God 

Mrs.  Eaton  :  I  will,  so  help  me 
God. 

The  Chairman:  The  Secretary 
will  first  read  the  resolution. 

Thereupon  Aid.  Rodriguez'  reso- 
lution passed  by  the  City  Council 
was  read  by  the  Secretary,  as  fol- 
lows : 

"Whereas,  Mrs.  Page  Waller 
Eaton  has  heretofore  and  is  now 
employed  in  the  Department  of 
Public  Welfare  as  Superintendent 
of  the  Bureau  of  Social  Survey; 
and 

"Whereas,  Under  and  by  vir- 
tue of  the  ordinances  of  this  city 
the  compensation  payable  to  her 
is  $250.00  iper  month;  and 

"Whereas,  The  allegation  is 
made  that  from  the  15th  day  of 
June,  A.  D.  1915,  to  and  includ- 
ing January  4,  1916,  she  has 
been  required  as  a  condition  for 
her  continued  employment  to  pay 
over  unto  Mrs.  Louise  Osborne 
Rowe  approximately  one-third  of 
her  said  salary,  to  wit,  $83.00  per 
month,  in  two  monthly  install- 
ments of  forty  and  forty  three 
dollars  respectively,  same  being 
payable  Immediately  after  the 
receipt  of  her  salary;  now,  there- 
fore, be  it 

"Ordered,  That  the  Committee 
.  on  Schools,  Fire,  Police  and  Civil 
Service  be  and  the  same  is  here- 
by instructed  and  directed  to  im- 
mediately make  an  investigation 
to  ascertain  the  total  amount  paid 
by  said  Mrs.  Eaton  and  the  pur- 
pose for  which  said  contribution 
was  demanded,  and  also  to  ascer- 
tain whether  or  not  there  are 
other  persons  in  said  department 
who  are  required  to  contribute  as 
a  condition  for  a  continuation  of 
their  employment,  and  to  report 
on  their  findings  to  the  said 
Council,  at  the  earliest  possible 
date  with  such  recommendations 
as  they  may  deem  proper." 


MRS.  PAGE  WALLER  EATON, 

having  been  first  duly  sworn,  ap- 
peared before  the  committee,  and 
testified  as  follows : 

The  Chairman  :  You  may  now 
proceed  with  your  testimony,  Mrs. 
Eaton. 

The  Witness:  Do  you  wish  to 
ask  me  questions? 

The  Chairman:  No,  no,  state  it 
in  your  own  way. 

The  Witness  :  On  the  second  day 
of  May,  1915,  I  received  a  telephone 
call  from  Mrs.  Louise  Osborne- 
Rowe.  She  said,  "Mrs.  Eaton,  I 
have  some  good  news  for  you.  I 
want  you  to  come  to  my  husband's 
office  tomorrow" — that  was  May 
3rd — "at  2  o'clock  in  the  afternoon." 
I  w^ent  to  the  office  in  the  Otis 
building — I  cannot  tell  you  just 
what  room  number  it  is,  because  I 
never  was  there  but  -once,  33ut  I 
think  it  is  the  Cloverdale,  or  some 
Clover  insurance  company.  Mrs. 
Rowe  greeted  me  very  kindly,  and 
she  invited  me  into  a  private  of- 
fice. There  was  no  one  present  but 
Mrs.  Rowe  and  myself  in  the  pri- 
vate office,  although  there  was  a 
stenographer  present  when  I  entered 
the  office.  Then  Mrs.  Rowe  told  me 
that  some  weeks  ago,  or  some  time 
ago,  it  had  been  decided  that  she 
was  to  be  the  Commissioner  of 
Public  Welfare, — some  time  pre- 
viously. I  congratulated  her.  Then 
she  said  that  Mrs.  Harry  Atwood 
and  myself  were  to  be  appointed  to 
the  two  bureaus,  the  Bureau  of 
Surveys  and  the  Bureau  of  Em- 
ployment, as  Superintendents  of 
those  bureaus.  Then  in  the  con- 
versation— I  do  not  remember, 
gentlemen,  just  exactly  what  the 
other  conversation  was.  It  was  ir- 
relevant. I  expressed  appreciation, 
of  course.  Then  she  said  "Mrs. 
Eaton,  it  may  be  necessary  for  a 
time  to  help  support  a  relative  of 
the  Mayor's."  'She  said  "this  may 
not  be  for  very  long,  and  it  will  only 
be  a  loan;"  and  she  mentioned  the 
name  of  Mrs.  Margaret  A.  Mivelaz. 
I  said  at  the  time  that  I  thought  it

was  a  very  peculiar  state  of  affairs. 
She  stated,  "yes,  but  Mr.  Thompson 
has   spent  so   much  money   m  the 
campaign,  and  his  paper  is  out  m  so 
many  places,  that  we  will  have  to 
help  him  out.    He  cannot  yet  place 
Mrs.  Mivelaz,  because  she  is  a  rela- 
tive of  his  wife."     She  said,  "this 
will  not  continue,  probably,  longer 
than  July;"  but  it  would  be  at  the 
rate    of    $1,000    a    year    from    my 
salary;  and  Mrs.  Rowe  also  said  the 
same  amount  from  her  own.    I  pro- 
tested, and  said,  "Mrs.  Rowe,  if  this 
be  necessary,  is  that  not  an  unfair 
rating?  Your  salary  is  to  be  $5^000 
a    year,    and    my    salary    is    to   be 
S3, 000  a  year.     Is  that  not  an  un- 
fair  amount,   even  if  it   is   only   a 
loan?"      Further,    she   said,    "Well, 
Mrs.  Eaton,   it  will  not  be  perma- 
nent; it  will  only  be  for  a  very  short 
time,    and   some   provision  will  be 
made  by  which  this  can  be  returned 
by  the  Comptroller,  just  as  soon  as 
we  can  make  a  place  on  the  payroll 
of    the    City    somewhere    for    Mrs. 
Mivelaz."    I  would  like  to  state  here 
that  I  had  never  seen  Mrs.   Mive- 
laz, to  my  knowledge,  at  that  time, 
and  her  name,  and  her  relationship 
to  the  Mayor's  wife,  I  gathered  from 
Mrs.  Rowe.     Mrs.  Rowe  then  stated 
that  we  were  to  go  to  the  Sherman 
Hotel, — Mrs.  Atwood  was  not  pres- 
ent.   Mrs.  Rowe  then  stated  that  we 
were   to   go  to  the  Sherman  Hotel 
at   4   o'clock,   to  meet  Mr.  Lundin, 
and  that  her  appointment  was  to  be 
announced  that  evening  at  the  City 
Council.     That  was  May  3,  1915.     I 
wish  to  mention  a  little  corroborat- 
ing   evidence    here,  '  gentlemen.      I 
happen    to    be    Secretary    of    the 
Woman's  Association  of  Commerce. 
They  have  a  directors'  meeting  on 
the  first  Monday  in  every  month  at 
4   P.  M.     May  3rd  was  the  first  of 
the    month,— the    first    Monday    in 
May.      T    went    from    this    mooting 
with   Mrs.  Rowe  over  to  tho  office 
of  Miss  Florence  King,  President  of 
I  ho   association,   whoso   ofilco   is   at 
1053  Monadnock  Block.     T  told  Miss 
King   that   it   would   bo    impossible 
for  mo  to  be  present  at  the  direc- 


tors' meeting,  because  T  had  to  go 
to  the  Sherman  House,   and  I  told 
her  of  my  appointment,  and  she  con- 
gratulated me.    I  went  to  the  Sher- 
man House  at  the  hour  named,  and 
Mrs.  Harry  AtWood  was  there,  and 
Mrs.   Rowe    and   myself.     We    had 
only  been   on  the   Mezzanine   floor 
a  very  few  minutes  when  a  mes- 
senger came  from  the  City  Hall  to 
say  that  Mr.  Lundin  was  prevented 
from  being  present,  that  he  was  m 
an   important   conference  with  the 
Mayor,  and  that  he  could  not  come; 
and  that  her  appointment,  as  I  re- 
member it,  would  not  be  announced 
that  night— as  I  remember  it.    I  am 
not  quite  sure  who  this  messenger 
was,  but  I  think  it  was  Mr.  Pfaff.    I 
would  know  the  gentleman  if  I  saw 
him  again,  and  I  think  it  was  Mr. 
Pfaff.    I  did  not  know  the  names  of 
a  good  many  of  those  gentlemen  at 
the  time,  but  I  think  that  is  who  it 
was.    I  went  back  from  there  over 
to  Miss  King's  office.    I  would  state 
that  Mrs.  Rowe's  appointment  was 
not   made   until   the    17th   of  May, 
and     my     appointment     was     an- 
nounced the  same  evening  by  Mrs. 
Rowe;   my   appointment  was  made 
by  the  Mayor  through   Mrs.   Rowe. 
My  first  pay  check  was  received  on 
the  25th  of  May.     You  remember, 
gentlemen,  that  the  pay  checks  for 
the     Bureau     of     Welfare     come 
through  on  the  10th  and  the  25th 
of   the    month.     The    payrolls   are 
made   up   on   the   20th;   they  come 
over  to  the  Citv  Hall  and  they  take 
five  davs  to  go  through  the  Auditor's 
office;  and  we  get  our  pay  checks  at 
the  end  of  those  five  days.     I  had 
only  worked  two  days  when  the  first 
pay  check  went  through.   I  received 
my  first   pay   check  of  $16.00   and 
some    cents,— a     fraction— on     the 
25th   of  Mav.     There  was  nothing 
said  about  my  giving  any  money  to 
Mrs.  Rowe  at  that  time.    Tho  check 
was  only  $16  and  some  cents.     In 
tho  meantime,  I  would  like  to  say 
hero  that  after  this  convorsation,-- 
on    tho   3rd   of  May,   when  I  wont 
homo  that  night,  after  my  convor- 
«;ation  with  Mrs.  Rowe  in  her  hus-

band's  office  in  the  Otis  building,  I 
spoke  to  a  friend  of  mine,  a  woman 
Iriend,  of  Mrs  Rowe's  suggestion,  or 
rather    intimation,    that    that    was 
necessary,   that  I  pay  this   salary; 
and  my  friend  said,  "I  cannot  be- 
lieve that  that  was  really  intended. 
I  think  it  was  only  toi  test  your  loy- 
alty, and  I  would  pay  no  attention 
to  it  whatsover."    After  the  second 
check  came  in,^that  was  the  first 
check  for  the  full  half  month's  pay, 
on  June  10th, — I  had  forgotten  about 
this   possibility   of   my   paying  the 
money.     I  had  been  very  busy   in 
the  department,  and  the  work  was 
very  difficult,  because  my  predeces- 
sor had  been  removed   some   days 
before  I  was  appointed,   and  there 
was  nobody  to  just  gather  up  the 
threads  for  me;  and  this  other  mat- 
ter  had   slipped   my   memory.     In 
fact,  I  did  not  pay  very  much  at- 
tention to  it,   because   I   could  not 
believe  it  was  true.    After  the  first 
pay  check  came  through,  which  was 
normally    about    the    12th    of    the 
month,   Mrs.   Rowe   called   me   into 
her  private  office  and  said  to  me, 
"we  have  got  to   come   across."     I 
said,  "Mrs.  Rowe,  do  you  mean  to 
tell  me   that  we  have  to  pay  this 
money  for  the  support  of  a  sister- 
in-law  of  Mr.  William  Hale  Thomp- 
son?    Mr.    Thompson    is    supposed 
to  be  a  wealthy  man."     She  again 
repeated  that  he  was  very  deeply 
involved    from    his    campaign    ex- 
penses,— which  I  understand  he  had 
paid    himself    entirely,    or    practi- 
cally so.    I  said,  "Does  Mr.  Thomp- 
son know  of  this?"    She  said,  "Mrs. 
Thompson  telephoned  me  last  even- 
ing, to  my  residence,  that  we  had 
to  pay  this   money,    and   that   Mr. 
Thompson  was  in  the  same  room, 
and  could  hear  the  conversation."   I 
am  only  telling  you  this,  gentlemen, 
just  as  it  was  told  to  me."    She  said, 
"Maizie  says  we  have  got  to  come 
across." 

Ald.  McGormick:     That  was  her 
expression,   was  it? 

The    Witness:      That    was    her 
expression.  Aid.  McGormick. 


Ald.  McGormick:  (Q.)  "Maizie 
says  we  have  got  to  come  across?" 

A.  "We  have  got  to  come 
across."  I  was  amused  at  the  ex- 
pression at  the  time,  and  I  am  still 
somewhat  amused. 

Ald.  DePriest;  (Q.)  May  I  ask 
the  lady  who  Maizie  is? 

A.  Maizie  is  Mrs.  William  Hale 
Thompson.  I  said:  "Well,  Mrs. 
Rowe,  I  think  this  is  an  outrage; 
and  if  Mr.  Thompson  knows  of  this, 
he  is  nothing  better  than  a  com- 
mon crook."  That  was  what  I  said, 
—"if  he  knows  of  it."  Then  I 
jestingly  said,  making  the  best  of  it, 
"oh,  I  suppose  we  all  have  our 
private  charities,  and  mine  seems  to 
be  at  the  present  time  to  help  take 
care  of  one  of  Mr.  Thompson's  rel- 
atives." I  went  over  and  consulted 
my  attorney,  Mr.  Seymour  Stedman, 
who  has  been  my  attorney  for  a 
long  time.  I  said,  "I  feel  that  this 
whole  thing  is  so  peculiar  that  I 
must  protect  myself,  if  this  money 
is  never  to  be  returned.  I  want  to 
believe  it  is  only  a  loan,  but  I  must 
protect  myself."  Mr.  Stedman 
promised  to  help  me.  I  went  to  the 
bank  and  drew  a  currency  check, — 
I  had  previously  deposited  my  pay 
check  for  $40.00.  I  could  not  pay 
the  amount  of  it  in  one  check,  be- 
cause I  had  my  household  expenses 
and  other  things  to  pay;  and  for  my 
protection  I  wrote  in  the  corner, 
"For  the  Louise  Osborne  Rowe 
Gharity  Fund."  When  my  second 
payment  came  through,  I  had  wit- 
nesses witness  the  fact  that  the 
payment  was  made.  Alderman 
Rodriguez  went  to  the  bank  and  saw 
me  deposit  the  money, — saw  me 
make  out  a  deposit  slip  for  the  full 
amount  of  my  pay  check,  $125.00, — 
a  half  month's  pay  check,  $125.00. 
I  then  went  back  to  the  table — this 
was  in  the  ladies'  department  of  the 
First  National  Bank,  where  I  have 
banked  since  1911.  I  then  went 
back  and  deposited  this  $43.00.  As 
nearly  as  I  can  recall,  it  was  a 
twenty,  two  tens,  and  three  one  dol-

lar  bills, — deposited  them  in  an  en- 
velope.    The   First   National   Bank 
envelope   is   a  blue  little  envelope, 
with  the  imprint  of  the  bank  on  the 
envelope,  and  I  made  a  sign  across 
the   seal,   so   that   if  the   seal  was 
broken   it   could  be   noticed.    Pre- 
vious to  this  I  had  emptied  by  hand- 
bag of  the  money  that  was  in  it,  so 
that  Alderman  Rodriguez  could  see 
that   I   had   not   another   blue    en- 
velope that  could  be  substituted  for 
this.     I  wrote  in  the  corner  of  the 
envelope,  "Special  investigation  pa- 
pers for  Mrs.  Rowe."    I  felt,  as  Mrs. 
Rowe  had  cautioned  me  that  there 
must  be  the  utmost  secrecy  about 
this  matter,  that  I  would  try  to  ob- 
serve  it.     Remember,  gentlemen,  I 
did  not  know  that  Mr.   Thompson 
knew  of  it.     I  only  judged  it  from 
the  inference;  and  if  it  were  to  be 
,a  'loan,— I   worked   long   and   zeal- 
ously for  Mr.  Thompson,  and  I  was 
willing  to  do  my  best  to  relieve  a 
temporary    embarrassment   on    his 
part,    especially   when   I    was    told 
that   it  was  going  to  be  returned. 
Mr.     Rodriguez     followed     me.       I 
walked  north  on  Dearborn  street  to 
Madison— no,  to  Washington;  west 
on  Washington  to  Clark;  and  north 
on   Clark  to   the   City  Hall   Square 
Building.     I  was  never  out  of  Mr. 
Rodriguez'    sight   for   one   moment; 
he   went  up   in   the   elevator   with 
me;  he  followed  me  about  three  or 
four  feet  behind  into  the  offices  of 
the  Welfare  Bureau,  and  he  never 
lost   sight  of  me   until   the   money 
was  handed  to  Mrs.  Rowe— until  the 
envelope  was  handed  to  Mrs.  Rowe, 
with  the  flap  upwards,  so  that  he 
could   see  that  the  seal  had  never 
been  broken.      On   the   second   oc- 
casion, which  was  in  July,  my  third 
pay  check,  half  month's  pay  check, 
Mr.    Gardner   did    the    same    thing, 
and   the  procedure  was  practically 
the  same.    I  would  like  to  state  that 
the  symbol  on  the  flap  of  the  en- 
velope,   on    the    occasion    that   Mr. 
Gardner  witnessed  my  putting  the 
money  into  tlio  envelope,  was  sug- 
gested   by    him    just    before— just 


after  the  envelope  was  sealed, — ^just 
after  the  envelope  was  sealed. 

Ald.    MgCormigk:       (Q.)      What 
Mr.  Gardner  is  this? 

A.     Mr.  Gardner,  whose  affidavit" 
has  been  read,  and  he  will  testify. 
Ald.   MgCormigk:      What   is  his 
first  name,  do  you  know? 

Mr.   Stedman  :     Fulton   Gardner. 
He  will  be  here. 

A.      (Continuing.)      I   never  saw 
Mr.  Gardner  before  that  time.    The    ■ 
same   procedure   took  place.     Mrs. 
Rowe  was  not  in  the  office  when  Mr. 
Gardner  returned  with  me.     I  put 
my  handbag  on  my  desk,  and  never 
touched   it   again  until   I  took  the 
envelope  out  and  handed  it  to  Mrs. 
Rowe    in    Mr.    Gardner's    presence, 
with  the  flap  up,  so  that  he  could 
see  that  it  had  never  been  touched; 
and  I  had  never  touched  my  hand- 
bag,   gentlemen,    from    the    time   I 
entered  the  office  until  the  envelope 
was  handed  to  Mrs.  Rowe.     In  Au- 
gust I  said,  "Mrs.  Rowe,  I  thought 
you  told  me  that  this  was  only  a 
temporary  matter,  and  by  this  time 
Mrs.   Mivelaz  would  be  taken  care 
of."    She  said :    "We  will  have  to  do 
this  a  while  longer,  because  so  many 
things   have   come   up."     I  believe 
there   was   some   difficulty   in  dis- 
tributing the  patronage  in  the  City 
Hall,    so   that   it  was   agreeable  to 
everyone.      I    was    working    very 
hard,  gentlemen,  and  I  did  not  med- 
dle  with   those   things.     Again,   in 
August  I  only  paid  part  of  the  sum, 
because     my     son,     who     was     in 
Europe,  was  wounded,  and  T  had  to 
send  him   $75.00,   and  I   could  not 
spare  any  more  that  month;  but  I 
made  it  up  the  next  month,  as  the 
checks  will  show,— as  the  currency 
checks  will  show.    I  continued  this 
until   December,   when  I  told  Mrs. 
Rowe  I  would  not  do  this  any  more, 
and  that  I  had  done  this  under  pro- 
test always.    She  said  to  me,  "I  do 
not  approve  of  this  myself,  but  it 
has  to  be  done."     In  June,  when  I 
protested,   Mrs.   Rowe   said   to  me, 
"Mrs.  Eaton,  what  do  you  suppose

these  big  salaries  are  paid  for  by 
the  City,  unless  there  is  something 
of  this  sort  going  on?  We  are  not 
doing  anything  more  than  is  going 
on  in  the  City  Hall."  I  am  only 
quoting  these  words,  gentlemen;  I 
do  not  know  what  is  going  on  in 
the  City  Hall.  I  remarked  to  Mrs. 
Rowe,  "Well,  your  salary  may  be  a 
surprise  to  you,  but  I  have  educated 
and  brought  up  my  children  with- 
out assistance,  and  I  have  earned, 
and  am  accustomed  to  earning,  a 
very  respectable  amount  of  money, 
and  my  salary  is  not  a  surprise 
to  me."  I  made  my  last  payment 
to  Mrs.  Rowe  in  January,  the  4th 
of  January,  I  think  it  was.  The 
check  bears  the  date.  The  checks 
can  all  be  shown.  Since  that  time 
I  have  paid  no  more  money  to  Mrs. 
Rowe.  Is  there  anything  else  you 
would  like  to  know,  gentlemen,  or 
any  questions  that  you  would  like 
to  put? 

The  Chairman:  (Q.)  Did  you 
have  any  conversation  with  her  the 
last  time  you  paid  her  the  money, 
in  January? 

A.     Nothing    more    than  to    say 

that  "this  is  the  last  time  this   is 

going  to  happen."  I  said  "I  will 
not  do  this  any  more." 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
questions  that  members  of  the 
committee  desire  to  propound? 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eaton, 
you  stated  that  when  you  paid  this 
money,  it  was  as  a  loan. 

A.  Yes,  Alderman.  I  so  under- 
stood it>. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Did  you  at 
any  time  ever  demand  this  loan  to 
be  paid  back,  or  did  she  say  when 
it  would  be  paid  back? 

A.  No,  she  never  did.  She  said 
that  the  Comptroller  would  make 
some  arrangements  at  some  time,  so 
that  it  could  be  paid  back,  but  there 
was  never  any  mention  after  my 
first  conversation  with  Mrs.  Rowe 
as  to  the  return"  of  this  money. 

Ald.  Blaha:     Did  Mrs.  Rowe  at 


any  time  state  that  this  money  was 
for  any  political  purposes,  or  for 
anything  of  that  kind? 

A.  She  did  not,  Alderman.  She 
always  stated  to  me  that  it  was  for 
Mrs.  Mivelaz.  Mrs.  Mivelaz,  she 
stated,  was  a  widow,  and  that  Mr. 
Thompson  had  contributed  largely 
to  her  support  in  the  past, — or 
rather,  had  helped  Mrs.  Mivelaz  out; 
and  I  am  very  positive  that  she 
stated  that  Mrs.  Mivelaz  had  a 
brother  who  had  given  them  a  great 
deal  of  trouble.  I  do  not  know  just 
what  the  trouble  was,  but  that  he 
had  done  so  much  in  the  past,  he 
thought  it  was  time  he  should  be 
relieved,  at  least  temporarily,  of 
this  burden. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  You  have 
not,  then,  recently  made  any  de- 
mands for  the  return  of  this 
money? 

A.     I  have  not. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Mrs. 
Eaton,  you  stated,  in  answer  to 
Alderman  Blaha's  question, — did 
you  understand  this  to  be  a  loan 
yourself,  or  did  Mrs.  Rowe  state 
explicitly  that  it  was  a  loan? 

A.    Mrs.  Riowe  stated. 

Ald.  McCoRMiCK :  (Q.)  In  other 
words,  did  Mrs.  Rowe  understand  it 
was  a  gift,  and  did  you  understand 
it  was  a  loan? 

A.  Mrs.  Rowe  stated  explicitly  to 
me  in  my  interview  with  her  ion  the 
3rd  of  May,  in  her  husbiand's  office 
in  the  Otis  building,  that  this  would 
be  regarded  as  a  loan,  and  would 
be  returned  some  day. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Did  you 
see  Mrs.  Mivelaz  come  into  Mrs. 
Rowe's  office  at  all?  If  so,  Ihow  fre- 
quently? 

A.  Mrs.  Mivelaz  came  to  the  of- 
fice about  twice  a  month.  She 
might  have  come  in  at.  various 
other  times.  On  several  occasions 
when  I  w*as  doing  this,  I  said,  "Mrs. 
Rowe,  shall  I  give  you  that  money 
today?"  And  once,  I  think  it  was  in 
August — I  could  not  be  sure  about 


3450 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  lOlO. 


this,  but  it  was  in  either  July,  Au- 
gust lor  Seiptemher — she  isaid :  "Mrs. 
Mivelaz  won't  be  down  until  Satur- 
day, so  you  can  give  it  to  me  Satur- 
day morning,  and  it  will  be  time 
enough." 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
other  questions? 

Ald.  DePriest  :  (Q.)  May  I  ask 
you  when  you  first  met  Aid.  Rod- 
riguez ? 

A.    I  first  met  Aid.  Rodriguez  the 

day  he  got  the  testimony  from  me. 

Ald.  DePriest:      (Q.)     And  your 

attorney,    Mr.    Stedman, ,  introduced 

you  to  him? 

A.    Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  And  did  I 
understand  you  to  say  that  the 
reason  why — put  it  this  way :  What 
did  I  understand  you  to  say  was. 
the  reason  Why  you  had  not  re- 
ported it  to  Mayor  Thompson  be- 
fore, or  to  somebody  else? 

A.  In  the  first  place,  several 
times  1  went  to  see  Mr.  Thompson, 
but  he  was  always — it  was  not  pos- 
sible to  see  him  at  the  time.  Mrs. 
Rowe  had  assured  me  that  the  mat- 
ter would  be  m^ade  all  right  as  time 
went  on.  In  the  second  place,  I 
realized  that  it  was  an  extremely 
delicate  matter,  and  I  owed  some 
debts,  and  I  felt  that  if  Mr.  Thomp- 
son was  cognizant  of  it,  I  would  be 
removed  immediately.  I  was  doing 
the  very  best  work  possible  for  the 
City  of  Chicago  in  my  office,  and  I 
believe  that  anyone  who  knows  the 
work  that  I  did  in  the  office  will 
testify  that  I  gave  the  people  of 
Chicago  a  dollar's  worth  of  service 
for  every  dollar  I  received.  I  at 
least  endeavored  to  do  so. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
think  that  Mrs.  Rowe  had  the  power 
of  removal? 

A.  I  think  that  Mrs.  Rowc's 
recommendation  for  a  removal 
would  have  a  greiat  deal  of  weight, 
yos,  sir.  Alderman. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  How  did 
you  know  tlic  other  gentleman  that 


made    the    affidavit — ^what    is    his 
name? 

A.  Mr.  Fulton  Gardner — is  that 
right? 

Mr.  Stedman:     Yes. 
A.    I  never  met  him  until  the  day 
he  got  the  testimony. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mr.  Stedman 
also  introduced  you  to  him,  did  he 
not? 

A.  Yes,  sir.  Mr.  Stedman  has. 
been  my  attorney,  and  I  asked  hh 
for  my  protection,  in  the  event  thai 
this  money  was  never  returned, 
would  he  safeguard  me. 

Ald.  DePriest:      (Q.)     Was  Mrg- 
Stedman   aware   of  this   scheme  of 
entrapment  that  was  worked? 

A.  Entrapping?  I  do  not  under- 
stand clearly.  Entrapping?  I  do 
not  understand  the  term. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  Mr. 
Stedman  tell  you  how  to  go  about 
getting  such  evidence  as  you  have 
gotten? 

A.  Mr.  Stedman  helped  me  to  "get 
the  evidence,  yes. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  He  told 
you  how  to  do  it? 

A.  He  got  the  witnesses  for  me, 
that  was  all.  Mr.  Stedman,  as  I 
stated  before,  is  my  attorney. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  In  other 
words,  you  were  under  the  guid- 
ance of  Mr.  Stedman  all  this  time? 
A.  It  is  usual  and  customary  for 
a  client  to  take  the  advice  of  an  at- 
torney, as  I  understand  those  things. 
Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
would  like  to  ask  the  lady  a  ques- 
tion. 

The  Witness:  Certainly,  Aid. 
Miller. 

Ald.  Miller:      (Q.)     About  what 

time  did  you  inform  Aid.  Rodriguez 

about  this  financial  transaction? 

A.     How  do  you  mean,  Alderman? 

Ald.  Miller:    (Q.)    About  when? 

Was  it   in  June,   July,   or   August? 

A.    It  was  in  June,  at  my  second 

payment.     The  first  p^ayment  I  had 


March  6,  1916. 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES.

no  witnesses  to  that,  but  I  stated  it 
to  persons,  that  I  had  made  the  pay- 
ment in  June. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  And  Alder- 
man Rodriguez  witnessed  this  pay- 
ment? 

A.    The  second  payment. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  And  knew  of 
it? 

A.    Yes. 

Ald.  Miller:      (Q.)     In  June? 

A.  The  last  part  of  June,  the 
28th,  I  think.  I  think  that  was  the 
date. 

Ald.  Miller  :  And  he  was  an  of- 
ficer of  the  City  of  Chicago,  under 
oath,  and  you  knew  th>at  when  you 
told  him? 

A.  I  knew  he  was  an  Alderman, 
lyes.  Aid.  Miller. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  And  he  has 
[kept  it  all  this  time,  up  until  this 
jimportant  campaign  which  is  now 
jpending  before  the  people  of  our 
[great  city? 
j  A.  (No  answer.) 
'    Ald.  Miller:     That  is  all. 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eaton, 
jvvhen  Mr.  Gardner  was  with  you 
and  you  had  ^an  envelope — 

A.  How  is  that,  Alderman? 
,  Ald.  Geiger:  I  ,&ay,  wben  Mr. 
Gardner  was  with  you,  and  you  had 
m  envelope  to  give  to  Mrs.  Rowe, 
A^as  that  envelope  in  any  way 
nsirked,  so  that  you  would  know  it? 

A.    It  was. 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  Who  sug- 
ested  marking  it? 

A.    Mr.  Gardner. 

Ald.  Geiger  :  (Q.)  And  how  was 
it  marked? 

A.  It  was  marked  with  a  long 
S";  he  suggested  it  after  the  en- 
elope  was  sealed. 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  Where  was 
t  marked,  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.  On  the  envelope,  on  the  flap 
>f  the  envelope.  You  know  how  you 
eal  an  envelope,  just  as  you  put  on 
L  seal.   It  was  marked  on  the  flap. 


The  Chairman:  Explain  with 
this  envelope,  please  (handing  en- 
velope to  witness). 

A.  If  I  had  sealed  this  (indicat- 
ing) ,— then  it  was  sealed  and  affixed 
very  tight,  and  I  marked  it  down 
just  this  way   (indicating). 

The  Chairman  :     A  straight  line? 

A.     No,  this  way  (indicating). 

The  Chairman  :  Show  the  other 
gentlemen. 

A.  Just  in  this  way  (indicating 
with  envelope). 

The  Chairman:  Like  an  "S", 
like  .the  letter  "S". 

AT.D.  Geiger:  (Q.)  When  was 
that  suggested,  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.  After  the  envelope  was  sealed, 
at  the  bank. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  (Q.)  Mrs. 
Eaton,  Mrs.  Rowe  bad  the  power  of 
removal  absolutely  over  you,  had 
she  not? 

A.     Absolutely. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  You  were  a 
sixty  day  appointee? 

A.  I  was  a  sixty  day  appointee, 
yes,  sir,  Alderman. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  Can  you  tell 
us  anything  about  Miss  Keller,  who 
took  a  vacation,  and  whose  place 
was  filled  by  Miss  Lundby? 

A.  Miss  Keller  was  a  stenog- 
rapher in  my  department.  If  you 
will  read  the  proceedings  of  the  City 
Council,  the  Bureau  of  Surveys  is 
allowed  a  stenographer.  Miss  Keller 
was  the  stenographer  in  my  bureau, 
and  worked  there  until, — I  think  it 
was  the  first  of  July. 

Ald.  Geiger  :  Mr.  Chairman,  there 
is  one  point  I  want  to  bring  out  re- 
garding that  envelope.  Will  you 
pardon  me? 

Ald.  McGormick:  Certainly,  Al- 
derman. 

Ald.  Geiger  :  What  was  the  color 
of  the  envelope,  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.  Blue,  anl  it  had  the  stamp  of 
the  First  National  Bank  upon  it. 

Ald.  Geiger:    Are  there  any  other 


3452 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916.  flll 


envelopes    in    the    Department    of 
Welfare  that  are  blue? 
A.     I  never  saw  any. 
Ald.  Geiger:      (Q.)     None  at  all? 
A.     None  to  my  knowledge. 
Ald.    Geiger:       (Q.)     Yoai   never 
saw  any? 
A.     Never.' 

Ald.  Geiger  :  (Q.)  And  the  hank 
envelope  was  blue? 

A.  Blue,  and  it  is  a  square  en- 
velope, like  a  lady's  envelope.  It  is 
in  the  ladies'  departm^ent,  you  un- 
derstand. 

Ald.  Geiger  :  That  is  all. 
Ald.  Mccormick:  Mr.  Chairman, 
may  I  ask  Aid.  Geiger,  are  you  here 
in  your  capacity  as  an  Alderman,  or 
are  you  counsel  for  one  of  the  par- 
ties in  the  case? 

Ald.  Geiger:  Why,  Mr.  Chair- 
man, I  am  a  member  of  the  City 
Council,  and  I  asked  the  questions 
in  order  to  bring  out  the  points. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  I  understand, 
but  I  was  merely  asking  you  whether 
you  are  here  in  your  capacity  as  an 
Alderman,  or  as  counsel. 

Ald.  Geiger:  I  am  here  as  a 
member  of  the  City  Council. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  That  is  per- 
fectly satisfactory. 

Ald.  Geiger:     All  right. 
The  ,  Chairman  :     Are   there  any 
other  questions? 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  asked  this 
question  of  Mrs.  Eaton  about  Miss 
Keller,  and  she  was  explaining  it 
when  Aid.  Geiger  interrupted. 

A.  Miss  Keller  was  a  strictly  ef- 
ficient stenographer.  She  took  a  60- 
day  leave  of  absence  to  go  to  Cali- 
fornia to  the  Exposition  in  San 
Francisco.  So  far  as  I  know,  there 
was  no  stenographer  appointed  to 
take  her  place.  There  were  certain- 
ly none  working  in  the  department, 
that  I  ever  saw,  and  I  only  have 
missed  three  days  through  sickness, 
or  throe  and  a  half  days  through 
sickness,  in  nine  months.   No  one  of 


the  names  that  have  been  quoted  iu 
the  papers — Miss  Lundby — was  in 
the  department  at  the  City  Hall 
Square  Building. 

Ald.McCormick  :  (Q.)  Miss  Kel- 
ler was  a  stenographer  in  your  de* 
partment? 

A.  In  my  department. 
Ald.McCormick:  (Q.)  And  im 
mediately  under  your  jurisdiction? 
A.  Yes  sir.  I  had  no  stenogra- 
pher, Alderman,  from  the  30th  of 
June,  on  which  Miss  Keller  went 
away — or  the  1st  of  July — until  in 
September;  and  there  still  is,  I 
judge,  in  the  department,  the  vol 
uminous  report  of  Aid.  Kennedy's 
committee, -which  I  wrote  in  long 
hand.  I  had  probably  500  reports 
made  in  that  survey  of  the  thirty 
five  wards  in  the  city,  that  was  re: 
ferred  to  me  from  Aid.  Kennedy* 
committee,  and  I  longhanded  thw 
because  there  was  not  anybody  there 
to  take  the  dictation. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Miss 
Lundby  never  served  you  as  a 
stenographer? 

A.    I  never  gave  dictation  to  any 
person  named  Lundby   in  my  life, 
and  so  far  as  I  know,  I  never  saw  i 
such  a  person;  but  my  office,  if  you 
know  the  location  of  it,  the  loca- 
tion of  the  rooms  there,  is  at  the  ! 
extreme  south  end, — I  think  it  is;  i 
so  that  she  might  have  come  in  the 
other  offices  and  I  never  saw  her; 
but  certainly  no  such  woman  under 
that  name  was  ever  there. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  In  any 
of  the  offices? 

A.  I  could  not  say,  because  I 
said  "under  that  name",  you  see. 
She  might  have  come  in  early  in 
the  morning,  and  gone  out,  but  I 
never  saw  her,  to  my  knowledge. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eaton. 
I  saw  something  in  the  paper  about, 
the  fact  that  Mrs.  Rowe  submitted 
a  proposition  to  you  to  split  that 
salary.  I  would  like  to  have  you 
tell  the  committee  all  about  that. 
A.    I  will  be  happy  to  do  so.

Ald.  DePriest  :  Thank  you.  Tell 
it  all. 
A.  Mrs.  Rowe  several  times  said 
always  said  that  she  was  paying 
the  Same  amount  that  I  was,  $83.00 
a  month,  for  the  support  of  this 
lady,  who  was  always  represented 
to  me  as  being  in  poor  circum- 
stances; and  when  Miss  Keller  went 
fway,  she  suggested  that  some  one 
/ould  sign  for  that  salary,  and  we 
/ould  divide  it.  I  think  the  ex- 
pression, as  I  recall  it,  was,  "that 
jwill  make  up  $40.00  apiece  for  us." 
She  suggested  first — she  said  to  me 
jfirst,  "haven't  you  a  daughter?"     I 

bid,  "Mrs.  Rowe,  would  you  have 
e  corrupt  a  girl,  to  sign  for 
Imoney  like  that?"  Then  she  said, 
'how  about  the  lady  who  lives  with 
pu?"  And  I  refused.  I  said,  "Mrs. 
Howe,  no  thank  you.  If  I  ever  wear 
jstripes,  I  prefer  them  up  and  down, 
|md  not  around." 

Ald.     DePriest:       (Q.)       About 
svhat  time  of  the  year  was  that? 
I   Ald.   McGormick:     May  I  ask  a 
Question  right  there? 

Ald.  DePriest:     Certainly. 

;   Ald.  McCormick:     (Q.)     You  put 
'he  letter  "S"  on  the  envelope? 

A.     I  did. 
I   Ald.    McCormick:       (Q.)       Was 
,hat  suggested  by  the  word  that  you 
'ust  used,  "stripes",  or  was  it  sug- 
gested by  "split  salary"? 

A.    Aid.  McCormick,  nothing  sug- 
gested that  at  all. 
Ald.  McCormick:    I  see. 

A.  Nothing  was  said  about 
tripes  or  split  salary  at  the  time. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  did  not  know 
mt  what  the  "S"  might  have  re- 
erred  to  either  of  them. 

Ald.  DePriest:  About  what 
ime  of  the  year  of  1915  was  that, 
;vhen  you  had  your  conversation 
^ith  Mrs.  Rowe  about  splitting  the 
tenographer's  salary? 

A.  Early  in  July,  after  Miss 
teller   went   away,    almost    imme- 


diately    after     Miss     Keller     went 
away. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
notice  the  young  lady,  Miss  Lundby, 
so-called,  in  the  office  at  all? 

A.  Not  to  my  knowledge,  Alder- 
man. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Have  you 
at  any  time  during  this  campaign 
been  to  any  mass  meeting  where 
William  Hale  Thompson  spoke? 

A.     During  the  campaign? 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  During 
this  campaign,  for  the  last  two 
months? 

A.  Yes,  I  was  present  in  the 
Third  Ward. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  How  long 
ago  was  that,  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.  I  don't  remember  the  date. 
Perhaps  it  was  in  January. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  (Q.)  Was  Mayor 
Thompson  in  the  hall  at  the  same 
time  you  were  there? 

A.     He  was. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Are  you 
very  well  acquainted  with  Mayor 
Thompson? 

A.  Only  as  I  have  worked  for 
him  in  the  campaign.  I  have  never 
been  in  his  house  but  once  in  my 
life,  and  that  was  when  I  went  with 
a  party  of  ladies  last  spring,  after 
the  election,  to  present  a  token  of 
respect  from  the  original  Thomp- 
son workers,  consisting  of  a  plat- 
inum and  diamond  guard  for  the 
Mayor,  and  a  sapphire  for  the 
Mayor's  wife,  for  which  some  15 
or  20  of  the  original  Thompson 
women  contributed;  and  that  was 
the  only  time  I  was  ever  in  the 
Mayor's  house.  We  did  that  as  an 
expression  of  our  affection,  and  be- 
lief in  the  Mayor;  and  that  was  last 
spring.   Alderman. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
have  a  chance  to  converse  with  the 
Mayor — you  could  have  had  a 
chance  at  that  meeting  in  the  Third 
Ward  that  you  speak  of,  in  the 
forum  out  there,  could  you  not?

A.  Why,  I  don't  think  so.  He 
came  on  the  platform  and  spoke, 
and  the  meeting  broke  up. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
have — 

Ald.  McCormick:  Just  a  mo- 
ment. The  question  of  Mrs.  Eaton's 
personal  acquaintance  with  the 
Mayor,  or  whether  she  has  spoken 
from  the  same  platform, — what 
bearing  has  that  on  the  contribu- 
tion of  Mrs.  Eaton's  salary  to  tlje 
support  of  Mayor  Thompson's 
sister-in-law? 

Ald.  DePriest  :  .  Well,  if  the 
Alderman  will  wait,  I  think  he  will 
find  out  what  I  am  trying  to  bring 
out. 

The  Chairman:     Let  us  hear  it 
anyway. 
Ald.  McCormick:    All  right. 
The  Chairman:     Proceed. 
Ald.   DePriest:     The  gentleman 
may   not   appreciate   the   evidence, 
but  I  want  to  ask  Mrs.  Eaton  fur- 
ther, as  soon  as  I  get  through  with 
this  question. 

Q.    Do  you  know  of  anything  else 
that  this  committee  ought  to  know? 
Somebody    may    think    I    want    to 
block   this,   but   I  want   this   aired 
from  top  to  bottom. 
A.     I  believe  that.  Aid.  DePriest. 
Ald.   DePriest:      The    reason   is 
this:     The  lady  said  some  time  ago 
she  did  not  have  an  opportunity  to 
communicate   with   Mayor   Thomp- 
son in  regard  to  notifying  him  of 
this  split  salary  proposition,  and  I 
wanted  to  know  if  she  had  ever  an 
opportunity,  or  if  she  tried  to  write 
him    a   letter,    or   anything.      Have 
you  tried  to  get  to  him  in  the  mat- 
ter,  for   instance,  by  going  to  his 
office? 

A.  I  have  always  experienced  a 
little  difficulty  in  getting  to  Mayor 
Thompson,  perhaps  because  he  was 
so  busy;  and  you  must  understand. 
Alderman,  tliat  this  matter  I  al- 
ways felt  was  a  delicate  matter,  and 
I  always  believed,  until  in  Decem- 
ber,    that    the    matter    would    be 


righted.  I  have  believed  in  Mayor 
Thompson,  'and  I  still  believe  that 
Mayor  Thompson  wants  to  do  the 
right  thing,  only  he  is  badly  advised. 
Ald.  DePriest:  Do  you  now 
think  that  Mayor  Thompson  knew 
anything  about  this  split  salary 
proposition? 

A.  I  cannot  say,  other  than  what 
Mrs.  Rowe  told  me. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Then  of  your 
own  knowledge  you  do  not  know 
whether  he  does  or  not? 

A.  Of  my  own  knowledge,  I  do 
not.  Mrs.  Rowe  told  me  toward  the 
last  that  he  did  know,  but  I  do  not 
know  of  my  own  knowledge. 

Ald.     McCormick:      (Q.)       Mrs. 
Rowe   did   state   to   you   that  Mrs. 
Thompson  had  telephoned  to  you? 
A.     Not  to  me,  to  her. 
Ald.  McCormick:     To  her? 

A.     Yes. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  (Q.)  Just  what 
was  that  again,  please? 

A.  That  was  in  June,  after  I  re- 
ceived my  first  salary  check.  She 
said,  "Mrs.  Eaton,  we  will  have  to 
pay  this  money"— and  I  stated  that.  \ 
She  said,  "Maizie  says  we  will  have 
to  come  across." 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Did  she 
state  that  Mrs.  Thompson  had 
telephoned  to  her? 

A.     She  did.  Aid.  McCormick. 
Ald.   McCormick:    (Q.)    Did  she 
state   that   the    Mayor    was   in  the 
room    when    Mrs.    Thompson    was 
telephoning  to  Mrs.  Rowe? 

A.  She  said  he  was  in  the  room. 
or  was  in  the  next  room;  and  I  said 
"could  he  hear?"  She  said  of 
course  he  could,"  or  "certainly  He 
could"— words  to  that  effect. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Do  you 
know  anything  else  that  this  com- 
mittee ought  to  know  about  this 
office  over  there?    Anything  else? 

A.     So  far   as  I  know.   Aid.  De- 
Priest,  tliere  was  no  other  salary- 
Ald.  DePriest:     (Q.)    Well,  was 
there  any  other  misconduct  in  me

office  that  this  committee  ought  to 
know  something  about,  in  any  way, 
shape,  form  or  fashion? 

A.  I  think  there  were  some  re- 
movals by  the  Civil  Service  Com- 
mission that  w^ere  not  quite  right. 

Ald.  Blaha:    State  those  facts. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Well,  the  Civil 
Service  Commission  is  the  best 
judge  of  that. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Tell  us  what 
they  are. 

.  Ald.  Blaha:  I  believe  we  ought 
to  know  about  them. 

Ald.  McCormick:    Certainly. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Let  her  state,  if 
she  has  got  (anything.  I  want  to 
hear  it  all. 

A.  I  think  the  removal  of  Miss 
Mary  Fitzgerald. 

Ald.  McCormick:    Who? 

A.     Miss  Mary  Fitzgerald. 

Ald.  DePriest:  What  was  she 
removed  for? 

A.  Miss  Fitzgerald  was  an  in- 
vestigator in  the  Bureau  of  Sur- 
veys. She  was  a  Civil  Service  ap- 
pointee, and  she  was  there  when  I 
came.  There  were  five  investiga- 
tors in  the  bureau.  You  remember, 
the  bureau  is  allow^ed  five  investi- 
gators. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  I  remember  quite 
well. 

A.  Yes.  And  the  investigators, 
when  I  took  charge, — shall  I  men- 
tion the  names? 

.  Ald.  DePriest:  Oh,  yes,  tell  it 
all. 

A.  The  investigators,  when  I 
took  charge,  were  Miss  Mary  Fitz- 
gerald, Miss  Anna  E.  Trotter,  Miss 
Valeria  McDermott,  Mr.  Jackson— I 
do  not  know  Mr.  Jackson's  name, 
his  first  name — and  Mr.  Otto 
Wanda.  Those  people  were  re- 
moved for  lack  of  funds.  You  re- 
Tiember,  after  the  administration 
took  charge,  there  was  a  lack  of 
funds,  and  there  was  a  reduction  in 
111  the  departments,  as  I  understand 
;  t,  for  the  sake  of  economy.  I  think 
hat  is  a  matter  that  everyone  will 


recall.  There  was  some  trouble  about 
the  removal  of  Miss  Valeria  Mc- 
Dermott, as  you  recall.  That  is  a 
matter  of  Civil  Service  record.  Miss 
McDermott  was  reinstated.  I  think 
it  was  on  the  first  of  July,  but  I  can- 
not be  quite  sure  as  to  the  date — 
although  I  could  verify  it — I  at- 
tended a  meeting  in  Riverview  Park 
on  the  North  Side — yes,  at  River- 
view,  I  think  it  was.  My  friend, 
with  whom  I  was  living,  went  with 
me.  It  was  on  that  occasion  that 
Mrs.  Rowe  said  to  me,  "I  am  going 
to  have  to  remove  Miss  Mary  Fitz- 
gerald, because  we  have  to  reduce 
expenses."  I  felt  very  badly  about 
it.  Miss  Fitzgerald — I  had  worked 
with  her,  and  I  had  gone  to  various 
places,  among  them  Palmer  Park, 
and  the  South  parks,  to  get  material 
for  certain  investigations,  and  I 
had  learned  to  think  very  much  of 
her.  She  was  a  very  rare  and 
beautiful  .srpirit,  and  very  capable. 
She  said :  "She  must  be  laid  off  for 
60  days."  When  I  went  to  the  of- 
fice the  next  morning,  I  said  to  Miss 
Fitzgerald,  "I  am  extremely  sorry, 
but  I  did  not  know  this  was  com- 
ing"— nor  did  I.  That  was  on  a 
Thursday  in  July,  the  first  Thurs- 
day in  July,  whatever  the  date  of 
that  was.  Miss  Fitzgerald  then 
stated  that  she  felt  terrible,  because 
it  came  like  a  shock  to  her,  as  it 
did  to  all  of  us;  but  it  was  a  60  day 
removal,  subject  to  reinstatement. 
,Mrs.  Rowe  went  to  Detroit  on  that 
date,  or  about  that  time,  to  attend 
an  employment  convention.  Mr.  J. 
W.  Calley  was  also  at  that  employ- 
ment convention.  Miss  Fitzgerald, 
when  she  first  went  into  the  de- 
partment— you  can  verify  the  date 
of  when  she  entered  the  depart- 
ment by  the  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sion records;  I  was  not  there,  and  I 
don't  remember — had  served  two 
days  without  pay,  through  an  error 
in  sending  in  the  payroll,  and  she 
said  to  the  secretary  of  Mrs.  Rowe : 
"I  think  I  should  receive  pay  for 
those  two  days."  I  am  sure  it  is 
the  date  in  July,  because  this  con- 
firms  it.     "Miss  Riley  said:    "Very

well.    I  will  not  write  you  as  being 
off    the    payroll    until    the    3rd"— 
which   was    quite    fair,    gentlemen, 
because  she  had  worked  two  days 
without     compensation,     and     she 
should  have  had  some  compensation 
for  that?    I  felt  so  badly  about  Miss 
Fitzgerald's   removal    that   I    said: 
"Miss  Fitzgerald,  I  will  do  what  I 
can  to  get  you  a  position;"  and  I 
went    over    personally    to    see-  Dr. 
John  Dill  Robertson,  Commissioner 
of  Health,   and  stated  to  him  that 
Miss  Fitzgerald  was  laid  off  for  two 
months  because  of  the  necessity  to 
economize.     He  said:   "Mrs.  Eaton, 
will  you  go  back  and  put  that  in 
writing";  and  the  letters,  the  car- 
bon and  the  original  letter,  should 
be  in  the  files  at  the  office.    I  wrote 
Dr.  Robertson  of  Miss  Fitzgerald's 
special     qualifications.       They    are 
stated    in    that    letter.      She    had 
seven  years'  experience  in  one  place, 
the   House   of   Correction,    and  had 
various  other  experience,   and  had 
passed     successfully    several    very 
rigid    Civil    Service    examinations. 
When  I  got  ready  to  mail  the  letter, 
after  filing  the  carbon,   Miss  Riley 
came  to  me,  Mrs.  Rowe's  secretary, 
in  terrible  distress.    She  said:  "Mrs. 
Eaton,  you  had  better  not  send  that 
letter.     Mrs.  Rowe  has  telegraphed 
from   Milwaukee"— I   should   say— 
"from  Detroit,  that  Miss  Fitzgerald 
must  be  dismissed."     I  said,   "Miss 
Riley,  that  is  a  terrible  thing  to  do." 
She    said:    "I    know    it;    but    Miss 
Valeria  McDermott  is  junior  to  Miss 
Fitzgerald,  and  you  know  the  Civil 
Service    always    requires    that   you 
should   let  ithe  junior   go    in;  ser- 
vice";  and   she  said   "Miss   McDer- 
mott—we  have  had  one  fight  over 
her,  and  the  only  way  not  to  raise 
another    fight    is    to    dismiss    Miss 
Fitzgerald." 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Is  Miss 
McDermott  any  relation  of  Aid. 
MfDermott,  of  this  committee,  do 
you  know? 


A.  No,  Aldoi'inari.  T  asked  hor 
that  question,  and  she  said  she  is 
not.     She  is  a  very  fine  girl. 


Ald.  McCormick  :  Oh,  he  is  too, 
so  far  asi  being  fine  is  concerned. 

The  Witness:  I  know  he  is, 
but  I  do  not  know  Aid.  McDermott. 
I  have  had  the  pleasure  of  knowing 
Miss  McDermott,  of  having  Miss 
McDermott  work  for  me,  and  I  love 
her  very  much. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Do  you  know 
anything  else  th>at  this  committee 
ought  to  know,  now? 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  do  not  know 
whether  Mrs.  Eaton  had  finished,  or 
not. 

The  Witness:  I  had  not  quite 
finished  that. 

Ald.  DePriest:     I  beg  your  par-,^ 
don. 

A.     Miss  Riley  said  to  me,  "Mrs. 
Eaton,  you  had  better  not  mail  that 
letter,  because  it  would  complicate 
matters   so   if   you   should  write  a 
letter    to   Doctor    Robertson   saying 
she  is  laid  off,  and  then  the  charge 
is   that   she   is   dismissed"— do  you 
see'^     I  pinned  the  se^aled  letter  t^ 
Dr  John  Dill  Robertson  to  the  car- 
bon,  and  when  I  resigned  from  t  ■ 
Department  of  Public  Welfare  U 
Saturday,  those  letters  were  still  m 
the   files,   and  I   presume   they  are 
there  yet;  but  in  order  to  be  sure 
that  there  would  be  no  doubt  about 
people    having    read    those    letters, 
and  knowing  that  those  leters  were 
written,    and    Miss    Sarah   E.   Riley 
read   my    letter    to   Dr.   Robertson; 
Miss   Yaleri'a    McDermott   read   my 
letter  to  Dr.  Robertson;  Miss  Mabe. 
Gregg  read  my  letter  to  Dr.  Robert- 
son; and  I  judge  that  those  letters 
are  still  in  the  files,  where  I  recom- 
mended   Miss    Fitzgerald    for    ap- 
pointment in  the  tuberculosis  san- 
itarium,     because      she     was     so 
qualified  for  that  work;  and  where 
I  did  not  send  the  letter,  because  it 
would    seem    that    it   would    make 
complications. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  So  that 
Miss  Fitzgertild  was  dismissed,  and 
did  not  receive  the  benefit  of  your 
letter  to  Dr.  Robertson?

A.  It  was  never  sent,  Aid.  Mc- 
Oormick.  I  want  to  state,  in  justice 
to  Mrs.  Rowe,  that  some  time  this 
autumn — I  cannot  tell  you  just 
when,  but  perhaps  two  months  ago, 
or  maybe  a  little  longer — Miss  Riley 
came  to  me  and  said,  "Mrs.  Eaton,  I 
wish  to  tell  you  something  that  you 
will  be  very  glad  to  hear.  Mrs. 
Rpwe  has  had  that  chiarge  against 
Miss  Fitzgerald  changed,  and  it  is 
now  that  she  was  on  leave  of  ab- 
sence, so  that  it  will  not  hurt  her 
future  record."  You  all  know, 
gentlemen — • 

Ald.  MgCormigk:  (Q.)  Let  me 
,get  that  clear.  Was  Miss  Fitzgerald 
[dismissed  from  the  service,  and 
charges  filed  before  the  Civil  Serv- 
jice  Commission? 

'  A.  I  do  not  know  what  was  filed. 
T  know  she  was  dismissed.  I  never 
saw  any  paper  that  was  sent  in,  but 
they  say  that  she  was  dismissed; 
and  we  all  felt  very  badly  about 
it,  because  when  a  person  is  dis- 
Imissed  from  the  Civil  Service,  that 
i record  always  stands  against  them 
in  any  work  they  want  to  do. 
Therefore  I  was  very  happy  when 
{[  was  told  that  it  had  been  changed, 
i after  three  or  four  months,  into  a 
leave  of  a^bsence.  Miss  Mary  Fitz- 
gerald is  now  at  work,  I  under- 
stand, in  the  Juvenile  Detention 
Home  bere.  I  bave  not  seen  her 
5ince  the  day  she  left  the  office,  nor 
3ommunicated  with  her  in  any  way. 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
3th er  questions? 

Ald.  Miller:  I  would  like  to 
isk  Mrs.  Eaton  if  sbe  was  aware  of 
he  fact  that  there  was  a  state  law 
)n  Civil  Service  which  provided 
hat  if  there  was  any  payment  of 
my  assessments  or  contributions, 
he  same  was  done  unlawfully,  and 
he  same  was  forbidden?  Were 
^ou  aware  of  that  fact? 

A.    I  was.  not,  Aid.  Miller. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  would  like  to 
lave  that  read  into  the  record,  Mr. 
'hairman. 


A.  I  am  not  familiar  with  the 
Civil  Service  laws'. 

The  Chairman:  Let  it  be  read 
into  the  record.  We  will  wait, 
though,  until  the  Secretary  returns. 

Ald.  Stern:  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eaton, 
why  did  you  continue  for  a  period 
of  eight  or  nine  months  to  pay  this 
amount  of  money  back  to  Mrs. 
Rowe?  Why  did  you  continue  to 
do  that,  when  you  knew  it  was 
positively  wrong? 

A.  I  always  believed  that  Mrs. 
Rowe  was  on  the  square  in  the  mat- 
ter, and  that  it  would  be  returned. 
She  said  that  to  me  several  times. 
But  Mrs.  Mivelaz  was  never  placed 
in  any  position. 

Ald.  Stern:  .  (Q.)  Did  you  be- 
lieve that  the  Comptroller  could 
return   this   money  to  you? 

A.  I  do  not  know  the  procedure 
in  those  matters,  but  you  know  that 
Mrs.  Rowe  is  a  very  close  friend  of 
the  Mayor  and  bis  wife,  and  is  con- 
stantly, as  I  understand  it,  being 
guided  by  advice  from  the  Comp- 
troller; and  I  did  not  know  just  how 
it  might  be  done,  but  I  thought  it 
might  be  possible. 

Ald.  Stern:  (Q.)  If  you  had 
the  same  situation,  the  same  condi- 
tions to  go  through  again,  would 
you  go  along  for  another  year  and 
pay  as  you  did  in  thisi  particular 
instance? 

A.  Not  knowing  what  I  know 
now.  Alderman. 

Ald.  Stern:     That  is  all. 

A.  Not  knowing  what  I  know 
now. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  How  did 
you  get  your  position,  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.    By  appointment. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  know;  but 
what  influence  was  bebind  you,  do. 
you  know? 

A.  So  far  as  I  know,  nobody 
asked  for  the  position.  I  did  not 
ask  for  the  position. 

Ald.  DePriest:  It  was  just  ten- 
dered to  you?

A.  It  was  tendered  to  me.  Alder- 
man, as  you  know,  I  did  rather  con- 
spicuous work  for  the  Mayor  during 
the  campaign. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
ever  make  'application  for  a  position 
in  the  City  Hall  in  any  way,  shape 
or  form? 

A.  ■!  never  asked  for  anythmg. 
Any  work  I  did  for  the  Mayor  was 
gladly  and  willingly  done 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  What  was 
the  total  amount  of  money  you  paid 
to  Mrs.  Rowe? 

A.  I  think  it  was  $543.00;  $543.00 
or  $541.00. 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  Have  you  any 
checks  here  which  would  show  the 
items? 

A.  Yeis.  My  attorney  has  them, 
has  the  cancelled  checks.  Mr.  Sted- 
man  has  the  cancelled  checks. 

Ald.  Powers  :  I  was  late  coming 
in,  but  just  as  I  took  my  seat  she 
answered  a  question  that  I  would 
like  to  repeat  again. 

Ald.  Geiger:  Mr.  Chairman,  just 
before  that  is  taken  up,  could  we 
have  those  checks  exhibited? 

The  Witness:  Certainly.  I  have 
no  'Objection  at  all. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Let  her  identify 
them,  Mr.  Chairman. 

'The  Chairman:  (Q.)  Were 
those  checks  made  out  by  you? 

A.  They  were.  Let  me  look 
through  them  all. 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eaton, 
did  you  write  anything  on  the 
checks  to  show  what  the  money 
was  drawn  for? 

A.  "For  the  Louise  Osborne 
Rowe  Charity  Fund." 

Ald.  McCoRMiCK :  (Q.^  And  you 
understood  that  charity  fund  to  be 
Mr.  Thompson's   sister-in-law? 

A.  I  did,  Mr.  McCormick.  If  you 
will  wait  until  I  look  over  these 
checks,  I  will  see  whether  they  are 
the  ones. 

The  Chairman  :  Yes.  Go  ahead. 
.Tusf,  a  moment,  now. 


A.  (After  examining  checks.) 
Those  are  my  checks,  gentlemen, 
and  they  are  numbered  to  corre- 
spond with  the  numbers  in  my 
stubs. 

The  Chairman:  These  checks 
are  drawn  in  your  handwriting,  are 
they? 

A.    They  are. 

Q.  And  the  signatures — this  sig- 
nature on  all  these  checks  is  your 
signature? 

A.  That  can  be  verified  by  my 
signature  at  the  First  National 
Bank. 

The   Chairman:      Do   any  mem- 
bers desire  to  look  at  the  checks? 
Ald.  Blaha  :    Yes.,  I  would  like  to 
see  them. 

Said  checks  were  thereupon  ten-  J 
dered  to  the  committee,  and  are  in  i

Ald.   Miller:       Now,    Mr.    Chair- 
man, in  answer  to  the  question  that 
I  have  put  to  Mrs.  Eaton,  claiming 
she  knew  nothing  of  this  Civil  Ser- 
vice law,  I  would  like  to  ask  a  little 
further:     Did  your   attorney,    Sey- 
mour    Stedman,      know     anything 
about  this  State  law,  that  was  on 
the  statute  books  at  that  time? 

The  Chairman  :  That  is  a  proper 
question  to  ask  Mr.  Stedman.  He 
will  be  on  the  stand  shortly. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  would  like  to 
ask  Aid.  Miller  a  question. 

The  Chairman:  Aid.  Miller  has 
the  floor. 

Ald.  Miller:  Just  a  moment,  and 
I  will  answer  you. 

Q.     Do    you    claim,    Mrs.    Eaton, 


;462 


REPORTS    OF   COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


that  you  could  not  get  an  interview 
with  His  Honor  the  Mayor?  Is  that 
correct? 

A.  I  claim  that  several  times  I 
tried  to  get  an  interview  with  the 
Mayor,  and  I  was  informed  he  was 
busy. 

Ald.  Miller  :  Did  you  attempt  to 
mail  a  letter  to  the  Mayor,  prefer- 
ring these  charges? 

A.  I  did  not,  for  the  reason  that 
other  friends  of  mine  had  mailed 
letters  to  the  Mayor,  and  they  had 
never  had  any  action  taken.  The 
Mayor  has  a  Secretary,  and  very 
often  a  letter  does  not  get  to  him. 
Ald.  Miller:  Are  you  through 
now,  Mrs.  Eaton?  Your  friends,  or 
you  yourself,  according  to  the  state- 
ment that  you  have  just  made,  feel 
that  the  government  service  is  not 
to  be  relied  upon,  and  that  the 
Mayor  would  not  honor  that  service, 
where  so  serious  a  charge  was  pre- 
ferred? 

The  Chairman:  She  did  not  say 
that. 

A  I  did  not  have  anything  to 
say  'about  that,  Aid.  Miller.  That  is 
not  quite  a  fair  way  of  stating  the 
question. 

Ald.  Miller:  WeW,  cut  out  the 
"government"  part. 

A.  Yes.  May  I  speak  now, 
Alderman? 

Ald.  Miller:  Strike  out  the 
other. 

A.  I  told  you  that  the  Mayor  is 
a  verv  busy  man.  We  all  know- 
that  Mr.  Charles  Fitzmorris  is  a  very 
highly  trained  man  in  secretarial 
duties  to  the  Mayor. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  have  had  the 
same  experience  myself.  I  could 
not  get  in  myself. 

A  And  consequently  I  believe 
that  in  the  discharge  of  his  secre- 
tarial duties.  Secretary  Fitzmorris 
might  withhold  from  the  Mayor 
certain  things  be  tli ought  might  an- 
noy him. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  Do  you  fool, 
thon,    you    would   not   have   gotten 


any  satisfaction,  had  you  mailed  a 
letter? 

A..  I  felt  that  such  might  have 
been  the  case. 

Ald.  Miller:  That  is  all.  Now, 
Aid.  McCormick. 

Ald.  McCormick:  You  are  such  a 
courteous  interrogator  that  I  do  not 
wish  to  ask  any  other  questions. 

The  Chairman:  I  notice  in  the 
list  of  checks  that  there  is  no  cheek 
for  November. 

A.  You  see,  I  had  some  insur- 
ance to  pay  in  November;  and  I 
went  to  Milwaukee  as  the  Mayors 
special  delegate  to  that  Compulsory 
Education  Convention  in  Milwaukee, 
and  I  paid  my  own  way.  •  After- 
wards it  was  returned  to  me,  be- 
cause I  was  the  Mayor's  delegate 
there  as  you  understand.  The 
whole  bill  was  $20.00,  which  was 
returned.  There  is  a  voucher: 
somewhere  in  the  City  Hall  showing: 
that  it  was  returned.  But  there  is 
one  check  for  $100.00. 

The  Chairman:  Yes.  December': 
1st. 

A  And  out  of  that  December! 
check  I  made  the  payment  for  No-^ 
vember.  I  did  not  put  anything: 
on  that  check— and  I  am  sorry  now 
that  I  did  not— that  so  much  of  tnati 
was  for  the  Louise  Osborne  Rowe' 
Charity  Fund,  but  I  had  gotten  sc 
tired  of  it. 

Ald.  Blaha:  May  I  ask  Mrs 
Eaton  another  question? 

The  Witness:  Certainly.  Alder-^ 
man.  I  will  answer  any  question^ 
you  gentlemen  want  to  ask. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  I  do  not  wish  to  b. 
understood  as  being  disrespectful 
but  we  want  to  get  the  evidence  a. 
fully  as  we  possibly  can. 

The  Witness:  T  quite  appre- 
ciate your  position. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.^  In  makini 
out  your  checks,  you  made  thos 
out  at  the  bank? 

A.  T  always  deposited  my  pa 
chocks   nrst.     T   then   wrote   out

currency  check,  and  drew  the 
money  on  a  currency  check. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  I  am  trying 
to  find  out  whether  Mrs.  Rowe  had 
ever  received  any  of  those  checks. 
She  did  not,  did  she? 

A.  I  am  very  glad  you  called  my 
attention  to  that. 

Ald.  Blaha  :    Yes. 

A.  In  June — I  think  it  was  on  a 
Saturday,  that  Mrs.  Rowe  asked  for 
the  payment,  and  I  said,  "Mrs. 
Rowe" — I  think  it  was  Saturday, 
Alderman,  but  it  has  been  some 
little  time,  you  know. 

Ald.  Blaha:     Yes. 

A.  And  the  bank  was  closed,  and 
I  said,  "I  will  give  you  a  currency 
check."  She  said,  "I  could  not  take 
the  check."  "Well",  I  said  "it  is 
a  currency  check,  and  that  is  the 
same  as  money.  You  can  take  it 
to  your  bank  and  get  it."  She  said 
"I  could  not  take  a  check.  There 
must  be  no  record  of  this;  it  must 
be  cash." 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  And  she 
never  saw  those  checks? 

A.  Not  to  my  knowledger  unless 
she  saw  them  photographed  in  the 
paper. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Mr.  Chairman,  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  certain 
charges  have  been  made  here  as  to 
violations  of  the  Civil  Service  Law 
in  that  department,  I  move  you  that 
we  appoint  a  sub-committee  to  in- 
vestigate those  charges. 

Ald.  MgCormick:    What  charges? 

_  Ald.  Blaha  :  That  the  Civil  Ser- 
vice laws  were  violated  in  there, 
that  there  were  different  employes 
discharged  contrary  to  the  Civil 
Service  laws.  Mrs.  Eaton  made 
that  statement  here  this  morning, 
and  I  believe  it  ought  to  be  gone 
into. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  You  under- 
stand, lof  course,  that  you  cannot 
introduce  that  into  the  committee. 
You  will  have  to  introduce  an  order 
I  into  the  City  Council,  and  have  it 


referred  to  the  committee.  That 
has  been  decided  several  times. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Cannot  this  com- 
mittee appoint  a  committee  to  in- 
vestigate that? 

The  Chairman:  No.  We  have 
authority  in  this  instance,  because 
there  was  an  order  passed  by  Aid. 
Rodriguez,  authorizing  an  investi- 
gation. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  All  of  these 
checks  are  drawn  to  currency? 

A.     Yes,  Alderman. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  Why  was  that? 
Did  you  ever  tender  a  check  to  Mrs. 
Rowe,  made  out  to  her? 

Ald.  Blaha:  She  answered  that 
question. 

A.    May  I  answer  that? 

Ald.  MgCormick:  Well,  Aid. 
DePriest  was  talking,  and  I  did  not 
hear  the  answer. 

A.    I  said  that  in  June — 

Ald.  MgCormick:  I  enjoy  hear- 
ing Aid.  DePriest  talk  so  much 
that  I  was  paying  attention  to  him, 
and  I  did  not  hear  what  the  wit- 
ness said. 

The  Chairman:  I  also  enjoy 
hearing  Aid.  DePriest  talk,  mys'elf. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  It  is  so  inter- 
esting.    I  did  not  hear  the  answer. 

Q.  Did  you  tender  Mrs.  Rowe  a 
check  at  any  time? 

A.  I  suggested  to  Mrs.  Rowe  in 
June — 

Ald.  MgCormick:  Did  you  ten- 
der her  a  check? 

A.  Pardon  me.  May  I  tell  just 
what  I  said  to  Aid,  Blaha? 

Ald.  MgCormick:     Yes. 

A.  The  bank  was  closed,  as  I  re- 
call it,  and  I  said  "I  will  give  you 
a  currency  check."  Mrs.  Rowe  said 
to  me,  "I  cannot  take  a  currency 
check.  There  must  be  no  record 
of  this;  it  must  be  cash";  and  I  re- 
plied— 

Ald.  MgCormick:  She  said  that 
there  should  be  no  record  of  it? 

A.    "No  record  of  this";  and  that

was  the  first  thing  that  made  me 
feel  that  I  must  get  a  record  of  it. 
That  was  the  first  payment  made, 
Alderman.  Thank  you  very  much 
for  bringing  that  out.  I  said,  "Mrs. 
Rowe,  a  currency  check  is  just  the 
same  as  cash."  If  you  have  a  bank 
account,  you  do  not  have  to  endorse 
it,  but  you  can  get  the  money  on 
it."  She  repeated  that  it  must  be 
cash;  and  from  that  time  on  I  al- 
ways paid  money  in  cash. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Mrs.  Eaton,  do  you 
not  think  that  after  refusing  to  ac- 
cept the  cash,  and  in  view  of  the 
fact  that  she  told  you  that  this  was 
a  loan,  and  that  you  were  going  to 
receive  this  money  back — do  you 
not  think  that  you  ought  to  have 
gone  a  little  further  into  it  at  that 
time? 

Ald.  MgGormick:  You  are  ask- 
ing a  question  there — 

The  Chairman:  Well,  let  her 
answer. 

A.  I  am  perfectly  willing  to  an- 
swer that  question. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  You  are  ask- 
ing a  question  as  to  what  she  thinks 
about  something. 

The  Chairman  :  We  might  as 
well  have  her  opinion  on  it. 

A.  I  am  only  a  human  being. 
Alderman. 

Ald.  Blaha:     Yes. 
A.     And  I  must  act  to  the  best 
of  my  understanding  and  ability,  as 
seems  right  to  me. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Personally  I  want 
to  say  to  you  that  I  am  very  much 
surprised,  and  agreeably  surprised, 
at  your  frank  statement.  I  do  not 
see  very  much  wrong  in  the  trans- 
action as  yet,  and  I  want  to  be  con- 
vinced. 

A.  Alderman,  I  have  done  the 
very  best  I  could  for  the  City  of 
Chicago — 

Ald.  Blaha  :     I  believe  it. 
A.     — according  to  my  own  con- 
science,  to  the  best  of  my  ability. 
No  man  or  woman  can  do  more. 


Ald.  Blaha:  I  believe  the  rec- 
ords will  show  that,  but  what  I  was 
trying  to  get  at  is  the  idea  of  a  per- 
son refusing  a  currency  check, — as 
far  as  I  am  personally  concerned,  I 
would  be  suspicious  of  it,  and  want 
a  cash  transaction, — and  further, 
because  she  told  you  it  was  a  loan, 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  she  told  you 
it  was  a  loan. 

A.  She  said  it  must  be  very, 
very  confidential.  I  suggested  to 
Mrs.  Rowe  in  June — and  I  am  glad 
to  have  this  point  come  out  in  the 
evidence,  because  I  had  forgotten 
it — I  said:  "Mrs.  Rowe,  is  this  not 
madness  on  the  part  of  the  Mayor? 
Think  what  it  will  mean!" 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  When  you 
told  her  that  in  June — 

A.     In  June. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  — you  men- 
tioned the  Mayor? 

A.     If  he  was  cognizant. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.V  Did  she  say 
he  was? 

A.  She  said  :  "This  must  be  very, 
very  confidential.  No  one  must 
know  anything  about  this." 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  But  she  did 
not  say  that  the  Mayor  knew  any- 
thing about  it,  did  she? 

A.  She  said,  at  the  time  Mrs. 
Thompson  telephoned,  that  he  must 
have  heard  her,  and  afterwards  she 
gave  me  to  understand  that  the 
Mayor  did  know  of  this;  but  I  do 
not  know.  I  am  only  telling  what 
was  said  to  me, — just  as  I  did  not 
know  that  Mrs.  Mivelaz  had  no 
money  until  I  saw  it  in  the  paper. 
I  was  always  led  to  understand  that 
she  was  a  woman  in  straitened  cir-  f 
cumstances,  a  widow  with  two 
cliildren  or  three  children — I  do  not 
know.  Was  it  two  or  three?— and 
that  she  had  a  brother  who  was  no 
comfort  to  hor  at  all,  because  he 
had  been— oh,  I  do  not  know— wild, 
or  perhaps  had  been  in  dilViculties 
iof  some  kind  with  the  law.  Those 
are  the  things  that  I  understand. 
I       Ald.  Blaha:    I  see.

REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


3465 


Ald.  MgCormick:  (Q.^  Whose 
brother  are  you  referring  to? 

A.  Mrs.  Mivelaz'  brother.  She 
has  a  brother  who  has  been — if  he 
was  a  small  boy,  I  would  say  way- 
ward. He  has  been  a  trouble  to  liis 
familty  always.  I  understand  that, 
but  I  do  not  know  this.  I  under- 
stand it. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  When  did  you 
leave  the  service? 

A.  I  wTote  my  resignation  on 
Saturday,  February  19th,  and  I  took 
it  down  to  the  suffrage  meeting  in 
the  Hotel  La  Salle,  Sunday  after- 
noon, and  thinking  that  perhaps 
some  one  might  say  that  it  never 
had  been  received,  or  never  had 
been  mailed,  I  gave  it  to  Miss 
Florence  King,  a  lawyer  of  repute 
here,  and  my  friend  for  many  years, 
to  read.  I  said:  "Florence,  this  is 
my  resignation  as  Superintendent 
of  the  Bureau  of  Social  Surveys.  It 
may  be  said  that  it  was  never  re- 
ceived; consequently  I  w^ant  you  to 
read  it,  and  seal  it  and  mail  it  your- 
self." My  return  address  was  writ- 
ten on  the  envelope.  Miss  King 
mailed  it,  and  said:  "I  will  testify 
at  any  time  that  I  mailed  that  en- 
velope for  you  in  the  mail  box  at 
the  Hotel  La  Sa'lle,  Sunday  after- 
noon, February  20,  1916;"  and  I 
noticed  that,  as  I  thought  might  be 
done,  Mrs.  Rowe  said  she  had  not 
received  the  resignation. 

The  Chairman  :  Was  it  mailed 
in  your  presence? 

A.  Mailed  in  my  presence,  yes, 
sir. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eafon, 
when  you  sent  in  your  resignation, 
did  you  make  a  demand  for  this 
money  that  you  had  paid  to  her?" 

A.     I  did  not.     I  simply  resigned. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Did  your  attor- 
ney, when  you  brought  this  matter 
to  him,  advise  you  to  make  a  de- 
mand for  the  money? 

A.  Why  should  he,  because  I 
was  always  told  that  the  money  was 
going  to  be   returned? 

Ald.    Blaha:     (Q.)      Well,    after 


severing  your  connection  with  the 
service,  I  thought  probably  you 
would  make  a  demand. 

A.  No,  I  never  made  a  demand 
for  the  money. 

Ald.  Blaha:    (Q.)  You  never  did? 

A.  No,  except  as  I  said  to  Mrs. 
Rowe:  "Is  not  justice  going  to  be 
done  in  the  matter?" 

Ald.  Powers:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
would  like  to  ask  the  lady  one  more 
question. 

Q.  Those  ladies  that  went  with 
you  to  Mayor  Thompson's  house, 
when  you  presented  him  with  that 
token  of  your  esteem,  are  they  any 
of  them  personal  friends  of  yours? 

A.  They  were  ladies  I  knew  dur- 
ing the'  campaign;  they  were  cam- 
paign acquaintances,  that  was  all. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  You  have 
confided  to  some  of  your  close  per- 
sonal friends  certain  matters,  I 
take  it? 

A.     I  have. 

Ald.  Powers  :  Did  you  ever  con- 
fide in  them  this  matter  under  dis- 
cussion here  today? 

A.     Certainly  not. 

Ald.  Powers  :  And  the  first  per- 
son that  you  confided  that  to  was 
your  attorney,  Mr.  Stedman? 

A.  The  first  person  I  confided  in 
was  my  friend,  who  lives  in  the 
same  house  with  me,  when  I  went 
back  there  on  the  3rd  day  of  May; 
and  she  expressed  her  willingness  to 
testify. 

Ald.  Powers  :  Well,  you  received 
your  appointment  from  Mayor 
Thompson  direct,  did  you,  Mrs. 
Eaton? 

A.  It  came  through  Mrs.  Rowe. 
Mrs.  Rowe  is  appointed  by  the 
Mayor,  as  you  gentlemen  in  the 
City  Council  know;  and  Mr.  Thomp- 
son instructed  Mrs.  Rowe  to  appoint 
me,  so  I  have  always  understood. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  Well,  as  I 
understand  it,  the  reason  why  you 
did  not  have  anything  to  say  was 
because  you  were  afraid  Mrs.  Rowe 
would  suspend  you? 


3466 


REPORTS    OP   COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


A.  Not  suspend;  perhaps  dis- 
charge would  be  a  better  word. 

Ald.  Powers;  (Q.)  How  could 
Mrs.  Rowe  discharge  you  if  Mayor 
Thompson  appointed  you? 

A.  Many  strange  things  happen 
sometimes,  Alderman,  and  you  can- 
not tell  how  many  strange  things 
happen. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  Possibly  that 
is  true,  Mrs.  Eaton,  but  naturally, 
if  the  Mayor  appointed  you  as  his 
personal  appointment — 

A.  I  was  only  a  sixty-day  ap- 
pointee. Alderman,  subject  to  a 
Civil  Service  examination. 

Ald.  Powers:  I  understand,  a 
sixty-day  appointment,  -a  temporary 
appointment. 

A.    Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  Powers:  With  permission 
granted  by  the  Civil  Service  Com- 
mission to  make  the  appointment. 

A.    Yes    • 

Ald.  Powers  :  And  that  appoint- 
ment was  made  by  the  Mayor 
direct? 

A.     How  is  that,  Alderman? 

Ald.  Powers:  I  say,  that  ap- 
pointment was  made  by  the  Mayor? 

A.     How  do  you  mean? 

Ald.  Powers:  I  mean,  it  was 
given  to  you  by  the  Mayor;  he  was 
the  one  who  signed  the  appomt- 
ment. 

A.  It  was  given  to  me  through 
Mrs.  Rowe,  but  I  was,  always  given 
to  understand  that  the  Mayor  had 
suggested  me  to  Mrs.  Rowe. 

Ald.  Powers:  That  is  all  I  wish 
to  know. 

A.  And  Mrs.  Rowe  recommended 
my  appointment. 

Ald.  Powers:  That  is  all. 
Ald.  McDermott:  (Q.)  You 
say  that  the  last  time  you  saw  Mrs. 
I^owc — when  was  the  last  time  you 
saw  Mrs.  Rowe  up  in  the  oflico, 
whoro  your  ofTicc  was? 

A.     Saturday,  February  10. 


Q.  Was  that  last  Saturday,  or  a 
week  ago  Saturday? 

A.  That  was  Pebru^ary  19— what 
is  the  date  today? 

Ald.  Miller  :    That  would  be  last 
Saturday.    Today  is  the  24th. 
A.    Yes. 

Ald.  McDermott:    (Q.)    You  had 
no  argument  with  her  in  any  way? 
A.    No. 

Ald.  McDermott:  (Q.)  You 
went  away  pleasant,  shaking 
hands? 

A.  Well,  I  don't  remember 
about  shaking  hands.  That  is  not 
customary. 

Ald.  McDermott:  (Q.)  But 
things  were  very  pleasant? 

A.  Wie  discussed  the  matters  for 
the  department. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  (Q.)  Mrs.  Eaton, 
were  you  on  the  payroll  at  the  time 
you  wrote  your  resignation,  or  had 
you  been  suspended  or  laid  off,  or 
anything  else? 

A.  I  was  iOn  the  payroll  when  I 
wrote  my  resignation. 

Ald.  DePriest  :    You  were  work- 
ing right  up   to  the  time  you  re- 
signed? 
A.    Yes. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  In  one 
place  you  stated  a  while  ago  in  your 
testimony  that  you  thought  the 
money  that  you  advanced  to  Mrs. 
Rowe  was  a  loan. 

A.  Mrs.  Rowe  always  stated  it  to 
me. 

Ald.  DePriest:     (Q.)     And  that 

is  the  way  you  always  regarded  it? 

A.     Until  just  about  the  first  of 

the  year,  when  I  began  to  thmk  it 

was  not. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Why  did 
you,  then,  away  back  in  Juno,  July, 
August  and  September,  write  on 
your  checks,  "Louise  Osborne  Rowe, 
Charity  Fund?"  Why  did  you  make 
it  "charity  fund"  if  it  was  a  loanY 
A.  Well,  Alderman,  as  I  have 
stated  before,   being  merely  a  hu- 


March  6,  1916. 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


3467 


man  being,  I  wanted  something  for 
the  sake  of  protection. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Why  did 
you  not  state  that  it  was  a  loan? 

A.  Because  I  always  spoke  of  it, 
and  Mrs.  Rowe — we  both  laughed 
about  it  being  a  charity  fund,  a 
private  charity.  We  laughed  about 
it  several  times. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Is  there 
not  a  vast  difference  between  char- 
ity and  a  loan? 

A.  I  think  you  are  splitting 
hairs,  Alderman. 

Ald.  McGormick:     Not  always. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Is  there 
not  a  vast  difference  between  char- 
ity and  a  loan — not  the  kind  of 
charity  you  do,  Aid.  McGormick? 

A.  Alderman,  you  know  the  Bible 
says,  "He  that  giveth  to  the  poor 
lendeth  to  the  Lord." 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  not  ac- 
quainted with  Biblical  quotations, 
lady. 

The  Witness:  It  is  not  a  bad 
book  to  know. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  I  agree  with  you 
on  that,  and  if  the  Bible  had  been 
adhered  to,  we  would  not  have  had 
this  trouble  now. 

The  Witness  :  That  is  quite 
right. 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
other  questions,  Alderman? 

Ald.  McGormick:  I  did  not  hear 
that  'last  part.  Alderman. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  I  said  that  if 
the  Bible  had  been  adhered  to 
faithfully,  there  would  not  be  this 
trouble  now.  Is  that  not  correct. 
Aid'.  McGormick,  if  you  are  a  Bibli- 
cal student? 

Ald.  McGormick:  It  must  be,  if 
you  say  so. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Thank  you. 
That  is  the  only  kind  of  answer  you 
could  give,  not  knowing  anything 
about  the-  Bible. 

Q.  Now,  Mrs.  Rowe — or,  I  mean, 
Mrs.  Eaton — I  understand  that  you 
are  a  married  lady,  are  you  not? 


A.    I  am. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Is  Mr.  Eaton 
here  in  Ghicago? 

A.  He  is.  I  do  not  see  what  this 
has  to  do  with  the  question,  how- 
ever. 

Ald.  Stern:  I  do  not  think  this 
has  anything  to  do  with  the  inves- 
tigation. 

Ald.  Klaus:  I  do  not  think  it 
has  anything  to  do  with  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  We  have  la  per- 
fect right  to  know  whether  the  lady 
is  depending  upon  herself  for  a  liv- 
ing, or  upon  her  husband. 

A.  I  am  absolutely  dependent 
upon  my  own  resources.  Mr.  Eaton 
and  I  have  been  separated  for  eight 
years. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  did  not  know 
that. 

A.  Almost  everybody  else  in 
Ghicago  knows  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  not  ac- 
quainted with  those  things,  those 
family  affairs,  but  I  wanted  to 
know,  and  this  committee  to  know, 
whether  the  lady  was  dependent 
upon  her  own  ability,  or  upon  her 
husband,  for  a  living. 

A.  I  am  dependent  upon  my  own 
ability. 

The  Ghairman  :  What  differ- 
ence would  it  make? 

The  Witness:  And,  gentlemen, 
I  want  to  say  that  I  consider  that 
question  utterly  irrelevant. 

The  Chairman  :  It  would  not 
make  any  difference.  She  was 
working  for  a  certain  stipulated 
salary,  and  that  is  her  right. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Oh,  yes.  She 
has  a  right  to  work,  if  she  has  got 
a  job. 

The  Chairman  :  The  Mayor,  in 
appointing  people  to  a  job,  takes 
everything  into  consideration  be- 
fore he  appoints  them. 

Ald.  DePriest:  He  is  given  that 
right.  The  Mayor  has  a  right  to 
anything  he  wants  to  do,  that  is 
legal.

REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


The  Chairman:     True. 
Ald.    DePriest:      He    has    abso- 
lutely the  right. 

The   Chairman:      Well,   you   are 

questioning      it     when     you      ask 

whether  or  not  she  has  a  hushand. 

Ald.   DePriest:      No,   I    am   not. 

That  is  your  interpretation. 

The  Chairman:  We  always 
have  different  interpretations. 

Ald.  DePriest:  And  always 
shall. 

The  Chairman  :   We  never  agree. 
Ald.  DePriest  :     I  agree  with  you 
thoroughly. 

The  Chairman  :  In  that  one  in- 
stance, yes. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  I  move  that 
this  dialogue  between  the  Chairman 
and  Aid.  DePriest  be  stricken  from 
the  record. 

The  Chairman  :  Oh,  no,  it  should 
remain  in  the  record. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Let  it  stand  in 
the  record,  and  publish  it.  We  will 
take  care  of  ourselves. 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
other  questions?  Does  Aid.  Rodri- 
guez desire  to  ask  any  questions? 

Ald.  Geiger:  I  desire  to  ask  an- 
other question,  Mr.  Chairman. 

Q.  Suppose  you  had  not  given 
Mrs.  Rowe  this  money  at  the  time 
she  asked  for  it?  What  do  you  sup- 
pose would  have  happened  to  your 
position? 

A.     Mrs.  Rowe  said  to  me — 
Ald.  Blaha:     That  is  an  assump- 
tion. 

Ald.  Geiger:  (Q.)  What  was 
said  about  it? 

The  Chairman:  The  Alderman 
asked  a  question,  and  he  received  an 
opinion.  Let  us  continue  with  this. 
A.  Mrs.  Rowe  said  to  me,  "If  you 
and  T  don't  do  this,  there  are  plenty 
of  other  people  who  will." 

Ald.  Mccormick:      (Q.)    And  you 
\mdorsinod  that  to  moan  what? 
A.     Alderman,  you  arc  a  man  of 


intelligence.     What  would  you  un- 
derstand that  to  mean? 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  do  not  know. 
Aid.  DePriest  doubts  that. 

The  Witness:  Well,  of  course 
this  is  a  time  when  you  have  to  ex- 
press yourself. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  I  am  not  going  to 
let  you  interpret  what  I  doubt  or 
what  I  do  not  doubt,  Aid.  McCor- 
mick. 

A.  I  judged  that  there  were  per- 
sons who  would  be  perfectly  willing 
to  do  it.  That  is  what  I  understood 
from  it. 

Ald.  Geiger:  In  other  words, 
your  impression  was  that  if  you  did 
not  pay  that  money,  the  position 
would  be  taken  from  you,  and  some- 
body else  be  put  in  your  place,  is  . 
that  the  idea? 

A.  Gentlemen,  you  must  remem- 
ber that  I  was  indebted;  that  I 
worked  very  hard  for  the  Mayor's 
campaign  from  November  until  the 
time  of  my  appointment.  Of  course, 
there  was  an  interval  there  after  the 
Mayor  was  elected,  and  I  felt  that  I 
had  worked  hard  for  the  Mayor,  and 
I  felt  that  I  was  going  to  work  for 
the  City  to  the  very  best  of  the 
ability  that  God  had  given  me,  and 
I  never  intended  to  remain  longer 
than  I  paid  my  debts.  There  are  a 
dozen  people  wdio  can  tell  you  that 
I  never  intended  to  remain  in  the 
bureau  longer  than  my  debts  were- 
paid;  and  today  I  have  less  money 
in  the  bank  than  I  had  when  I  went 
into  the  department. 

Ald.  Geiger:  I  do  not  think  you 
quite  understand  the  question. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.^  You  un- 
derstood the  remark  of  Mrs.  Rowe  to 
be  a  thinly  veiled  threat  that  if  you 
did  not  comply  you  would  lose  your 
position,  is  that  it? 
A.     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  Powers:  T  would  like  to 
ask  one  more  question.  I  hoard  you 
state  hero,  and  1  prosiuno  you  meant 
tliat  vou  were  a  friend,  a  warm  per- 
sonal friend  of  Mayor  Thompson.

A.  You  never  beard  me  state 
anything  of  the  kind,  Alderman,  if 
you  will  pardon  me. 

Ald.  Powers:  And  that-  -you 
worked  very  hard  for  him. 

A.  Yes,  I  did  hard  work  for 
Mayor  Thompson,  because  I  believe 
in  the  enforcement  of  the  law. 

Ald.  Powers  :     Yes. 

A.  I  worked  for  Mayor  Thompson 
before  the  primaries,  because  I  be- 
lieve that  if  the  Primary  Law  is  a 
good  law,  we  should  live  up  to  it,  and 
if  the  Primary  Law  is  a  bad  law,  we 
should  enforce  it  and  repeal  it.  I 
believe  the  only  way  to  find  out 
whether  a  law  is  a  bad  law  is  to  en- 
force it.  I  know  Thompson  was  t/he 
only  candidate  I  believed  stood  for 
the  enforcement  of  that  law;  and  I 
worked  for  him  because  I  believed 
in  him. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  That  being 
the  case,  Mrs.  Eaton,  do  you  not 
think  it  would  have  been  proper  for 
you  to  try  in  some  way  to  inform 
Mayor  Thompson  if  there  was  any 
irregularity  in  your  department? 

A.  I  have  stated  before  a  number 
of  times,  Alderman,  that  I  was  con- 
tinually assured  "that  this  matter 
would  be  straightened  out;  and  I  felt 
that  it  was  a  very  delicate  matter, 
and  that  it  was  perhaps  better  not 
to  say  anything  about  it. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  What  do 
you  mean  by  "straightened"? 

A.  That  the  money  would  be  re- 
turned. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  That  the 
money  would  be  returned? 

A.     Yes. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  By  Mrs. 
Rowe? 

A.  No,  through  Comptroller  Pike. 
Mrs.  Rowe  always  said  some  means 
would  be  devised,  or  that  when 
the  new  appropriation  was  made 
through  the  City  Council,  some 
method  or  way  would  be  devised  by 
which  it  might  be  possible  to  re- 
turn it. 


Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  It  is  a  fact 
that  you  never  did  communicate 
with  the  Mayor,  is  it  not? 

The  Chairman:  How  is  that 
again? 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  Is  it  not  a 
fact  that  you  never  did  in  any  way 
try  to  communicate  with  the  Mayor 
in  reference  to  the  irregularities  in 
your  department? 

A.  I  called  at  the  Mayor's  office 
several  times,  as  I  stated. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  For  that 
purpose? 

A.  In  order  to  talk  with  him,  but 
I  never  got  in,  Alderman.  I  stated 
that  distinctly  three  or  four  times. 
If  you  were  not  present,  I  am  sorry. 

Ald.  Powers  :     I  came  in  late. 

The  Witness  :  But  I  am  glad  to 
state  it  again. 

Ald.  Powers  :  And  I  was  anxious 
to  know  if  you  had  made  any  effort 
to  communicate  with  the  Mayor. 

A.  I  called  at  his  office  three  or 
four  times.  I  did  not  say  I  had  come 
for  that  purpose;  I  said  I  had  come 
for  other  (purposes;  but  I  intended 
to  mention  the  matter  to  him  when 
I  went  there. 

Ald.  Powers:  (Q.)  If  you  got 
an  audience  with  him. 

A.     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  DePriest:  The  question 
just  answered  prompts  another 
question: 

Q.  Mrs.  Eaton  stated  that  she  w^as 
led  to  believe — if  I  am  not  mistaken 
— that  the  loan  would  be  taken  care 
of  out. of  the  new  budget. 

A.     Yes. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Do^  you  know 
that  the  new  budget  has  not  been 
passed  yet? 

A.  I  know,  Aid.  DePriest,  it  has 
not  been  passed,  but  you  know 
"Faith  is  the  substance  of  things 
hoped  for,  the  evidence  of  things 
not  seen";  and  away  last  October 
everybody  hoped  there  would  be  a 


3470

>Iarch  6,  1916. 


new    budget,     and    believed    there 
would  be. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Well,  there  will 
be  a  new  budget  yet;  there  is  bound 
to  be  one. 

A.  Yes.  And  that  was  explained 
several  times,  that  if  it  could  not  be 
attended  to  before  then,  it.  would  be 
attended  to  when  the  new  budget 
was  passed. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  What  I  am  try- 
ing to  get  at  is:  If  you  expected 
this  money  to  be  taken  care  of  in  the 
new  budget,  why  is  it  or  how  is  it 
that  you  have  rushed  into  print— 
I  presume  it  was  under  the  advice 
of  your  counsel— just  a  few  days  be- 
ifore  election,  when  the  budget  had 
not  been  passed. 

A.     That  was  a  coincidence. 
Ald.  DePriest:     A  coincidence? 
A.     It  was  a  coincidence.    It  was 
not  premeditated. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mrs.  Eaton,.  1 
understood  you  to  say  that  Mrs. 
Rowe  stated  that  it  would  be  taken 
care  of  in  the  budget,  and  not  that 
that  was  your  opinion. 

A.  It  was  not  my  opinion  at  all. 
Alderman.  It  was  not  my  opinion 
at  all. 

Ald.  DePriest:     But  that  is  the 

way  you  expected  it  to  be  taken  care 

of,  according  to  Mrs.  Rowe's  opinion. 

The   Chairman  :     Are   there   any 

other  questions? 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
would  like  to  ask  for  a  point  of  in- 
formation from  you  personally,  as 
the  chairman  of  the  committee.  Is  it 
a  fact  that  the  Finance  Committee, 
in  session,  had  abolished  her  posi- 
tion? That  is,  in  the  Finance  Com- 
mittee the  position  of  Superinten- 
dent of  Welfare  Surveys,  or  Assis- 
tant Superintendent  of  Surveys  was 
abolished,  was  it  not? 

The   Witness:      Superintendent 
of  the,  Bureau  of  Social  Surveys. 
Ald.  Miller:     Is  that  a  fact? 
The  Chairman:     It  is  my  recol- 
lection til  at  it  was  abolished,  I  think. 


No,  we  did  not. 
She    being    the 

We  did  not  go 


at  the  last  Sunday  afternoon  meet- 
ing. The  matter  of  social  surveys 
had  come  up  time  after  time — 

Ald.  Miller  :  And  that  committee 
went  on  record  as  being  opposed  to 
the  Mayor,  by  a  majority  vote? 
The  Chairman  :  What  is  that? 
Ald.  Miller:  That  committee 
went  on  record  as  being  opposed  to 
the  Mayor's  appointee,  by  a  majority 
vote? 

The  Chairman  : 
Ald.     Miller  : 
Mayor's  appointee. 
The  Chairman  : 
on  record  as  being  opposed  to  the 
Mayor's    appointee.    We    went    on 
record  as  being  opposed  to  the  po- 
sition, to  the  department. 
Ald.  Miller  :     I  see. 
The  Chairman  :     On    account   of 
the  results  obtained.     We  did  not 
think  we  were  justified  in  spending 
the  taxpayers'  money  for  that  sur- 
vey.    We  have  left  in  the  budget 
the    employment   bureau,    and    the 
main  department.  We  thought  there 
were  too  many  departments  there. 

Ald.  Miller:  In  answer  to  that 
question,  I  want  to  bring  out  this 
point:  Is  it  not  a  fact  that  the  Fi- 
nance Committee  has  recommended 
that  not  only  her  position,  but  other 
positions,  be  abolished,  that  have 
been  in  existence,  some  of  them, 
practically  30  years  or  more,  and 
have  no  other  reason,  only  that  they 
are  opposed  positively  to  the  Mayor 
and  this  administration? 

The  Chairman:     Oh,  no.    No. 
Ald.  Miller:     No? 
The  Chairman  :     No.   Everything 
was  taken  into  consideration. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  May  I  ask  one  more 
question? 

Ald.  Mccormick:  Just  before 
that,  it  ought  to  be  made  perfe<^tly 
clear,  Mr.  Chairman,  that  the  action 
of  the  Finance  Committee  was  not 
necessarily  binding  upon  the  Coun- 
cil. It  makes  its  report,  and  if  tne 
Council  sees  fit  to  agree  with  it.  all

right;  and  if  it  does  not,  it  negatives 
the  action. 

.  The  Chairman  :  The  action  of 
the  Finance  Committee  is  reported 
back  to  the  Committee  of  the  Whole 
and  to  the  Council. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Did  not  Mrs. 
Rowe  testify  before  the  committee, 
also,  that  she  could  take  over  the 
work  which  Mrs.  Eaton  was  doing, 
if  she  was  given  additional  investi- 
gators? 

The  Chairman  :  I  think  she  did. 
My  recollection  is  that  she  did. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (0.)  Mrs.  Eaton, 
in  relation  to  the  position  that  you 
held,  is  it  in  your  opinion  a  valu- 
able position  to  the  City  of  Chicago? 

A.     It  is. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Does  the  of- 
fice do  valuable  work  for  the  City 
of  Chicago? 

A.     It  does. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Do  you  think 
it  should  be  abolished? 

A.  I  do  not,  regardless  of  the 
fact  whether  I  was  there  or  not. 

Ald.  Blaha:     Thank  you. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Now,  Mrs. 
Eaton,  will  you  be  kind  enough  to 
tell  us  when  you  decided  to  make 
this  proposition  public,  or  asked  to 
have  it  made  public  through  your 
attorney? 

A.    I  had  been  urged  to  make  it 
public  for  some  little  time. 
.  Ald.  DePriest:     When  did  you 
give  your  final  consent,  may  I  ask? 

A.    Last  week. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  And  was 
that  before  or  after  you  knew  that 
the  Finance  Committee  had  abol- 
ished the  position  you  were  hold- 
ing? 

A.  Aid.  DePriest,  the  action  of 
the  Finance  Committee  was  not 
final. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  know  that 
better  than  you,  Mrs.  Eaton. 

A.  And  I  think  it  can  be  proved 
that   I    never   intended    to    remain 


very  long  in  the  Bureau  of  Sur- 
veys. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  do  not  know. 
I  am  trying  to  find  out.  That  is 
all  I  want  to  know. 

The  Witness:  And  I  am  trying 
to  tell  you,  if  you  will  permit  me. 

Ald.  DePriest  :     Go  ahead. 

Ald.  Miller:  Show  the  lady 
every  courtesy. 

A.  I  never  intended  to,  and  the 
action  of  the  Finance  Committee 
had  practically  nothing  to  do  with 
it.  My  debts  were  paid,  Alderman, 
and  I  felt  that  while  there  was 
nothing  left,  practically,  I  am  never 
afraid  of  earning  a  living.  I 
brought  up  my  children  by  my  own 
efforts,  and  I  can  now  take  care  of 
myself. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  any 
politician  discuss   this  with  you — 

A.     No. 

Ald.  DePriest:  — ^outside  of 
Aid.  Rodriguez? 

A.     No. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Or  Aid. 
Kjellander,  or  Mr.  Brundage? 

A.  No.  I  never  met  Aid.  Kjel- 
lander to  my  knowledge,  until  to- 
day. 

Ald.  DePriest:  The  word  "poli- 
ticians" covers  them  all.  Aid.  Mc- 
Cormick, like  it  does  you. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  Mr.  Alexander, 
you  are  an  Assistant  Corporation 
Counsel,  are  you  not? 

Mr.  Alexander:     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Mr.  Wright, 
you  are  an  Assistant  Corporation 
Counsel? 

Mr.  Wright:     Yes. 

Ald.  McCormick:  As  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  is  represented 
here  by  two  of  his  assistants,  I 
should  like  to  ask,  Mr.  Chairman, 
that  they  be  permitted  to  ask  Mrs. 
Eaton  any  questions  on  behalf  of 
the  Mayor,  whom  they  represent,  if 
they  desire. 

The  Chairman  :     Has  any  mem- 


3472 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


ber   of   the    committee   any   objec- 
tion? 

Ald.  Blaha:  I  would  like  to 
know  whether  the  Mayor  has  any 
personal  representative  here,  or  has 
sent  anyone  here. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  would  like  to 
know,  too. 

Ald.  McGormick:  Surely  the 
Corporation  Counsels  would  not  be 
spending  time  here  merely  as  on- 
lookers, if  they  had  not  been  sent, 
would,  they? 

Ald.  Blaha:  They  may  be  here 
for  their  information,  to  see  what 
is  going  on.  I  think  Mayo-r  Thomp- 
son is  big  enough  to  speak  for  him- 
self when  the  time  comes. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  think  we 
want  to  make  the  fairest  and  full- 
est hearing  possible.  Mr.  Wright, 
whom  do  you  represent? 

Mr.  Wright:  I  am  not  repre- 
senting anybody  in  the  investiga- 
tion, insofar  as  desiring  to>  partici- 
pate in  the  examination  of  the  wit- 
nesses is  concerned.  I  am  here,  if 
any  Alderman  desires  to  receive 
any  information  of  a  legal  nature, 
that  I  am  capable  of  volunteering, 
to  offer  my  services. 

Ald.  MoCormick:  Were  you  de- 
tailed here  by  the  Corporation 
Counsel? 

Mr.  Wright:  The  Corporation 
Counsel  did  not  detail  me,  but  I 
came  with  Mr.  Alexander. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  Did  he  ask 
you  to  come? 

Mr.  Wright:     No. 
Ald.    McCormick:      Did    any    of 
his  assistants  ask  you  to  come? 
Mr.  Wright:     No. 
Ald.      McCormick:        You      just 
m'erely  came  to  volunteer  your  ad- 
vice.   I  am  glad  you  came,  because 
we  frequently  need   good  legal   ad- 
vice.     How    is    it    with    you,     Mr. 
Alexander? 

Mr.  Alexander:  T  was  sent  by 
the  Corporation  (younsers  olVico,  to 
represent  it. 


Ald.  McCormick:  For  what 
purpose? 

Mr.  Alexander:  For  the  very 
purpose  Mr.  Wright  is  here. 

Ald.  McCormick:  What  is  that? 
You  are  here  to  give  legal  advice  to 
the  committee,  if  it  needs  it? 

Mr.  Alexander:  The  position 
that  we  take  is  this — 

Ald.  McCormick:  All  I  want  to 
do  now  is,  if  the  committee  is 
willing — 

Ald.  DePriest:  The  gentleman 
has  a  right  to  explain  why  he  is- 
here. 

Ald.  McCormick:  That  is  all 
right.  He  was  assigned  by  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel.  Now,  I  say  to 
the  committee,  I  ask  you  to  turn  the 
witness  over  to  Mr.  Alexander  and 
Mr.  Wright,  and  let  them  ask  ques- 
tions, so  that  in  this  thing  we  may 
fully  and  searchingly  bring  out  all 
of  the  facts;  that  is  all. 

Mr.  Alexander:  I  am  not  here 
to  ask  'any  questions  of  any  wit- 
nesses, on  behalf  of  the  Corporation 
Counsel  nor  on  behalf  of  the  Mayor, 
nor  anybody  connected  with  the  ad- 
ministration; but  the  Civil  Service 
Commission  is  now  holding  an  ex- 
amination. We  are  willing,  and  in 
fact  we  are  anxious,  to  sift  the  < 
matter  to  the  bottom,  but  because 
of  the  present  examination  being 
held  by  the  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sion, whom  we  think  is  the  only 
legally  constituted  body  to  conduct 
this  examination,  I  prefer  not  to  ask 
any  questions  of  Mrs.  Eaton? 

Ald.   McCormick:      Is    that  your 
feeling,  too,  Mr.  Wright? 

Mr.  Wright:     Was  that  my  feel- 
ing? 

Ald.  McCormick:    Do  you  concur 
in  your  colleague's  opinion? 

Mr.    Wright:      I    did    not   know 
that  he   was  rendering  an  opinion. 
Ald.   :\IcCormick:      Or   his  slate- 
men  t? 

Mn.  WiiKurr:     We  ar(>  not  in  the 
I  liabit  of  riMidering  verbal   opinions.

Ald.  McGormick:  You  see,  I 
have  not  had  your  advantages  of  a 
legal  education,  so  I  might  make 
mistakes. 

Mr.  Wright:  I  have  submitted 
many  opinions,  but  over  my  signa- 
ture, with  tbe  recommendation  and 
approval  of  the  Corporation  Coun- 
sel. 

Ald.  McCormick:  But  he  did 
give  as  his  opinion  that  he  thought 
this  proceeding  was  illegal,  did  he 
not? 

Mr.  Wright:  I  am  not  passing 
upon  his  opinion. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Was  it  an 
opinion?  You  said  it  was  not.  Was 
it? 

The  Chairman:  It  must  have 
been  an  opinion. 

Mr.  Wright:  It  said  I  did  not 
know  he  was  submitting  an  opinion 
—that  is,  a  legal  opinion. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Well,  now,  do 
you  concur  in  what  he  said,  whether 
it  was  an  opinion,  or  his  statement? 

Mr.  Wright:  Well,  it  is  not 
necessary  for  me  to  concur  in  any- 
thing that  some  other  Corporation 
Counsel,  or  assistant,  may  have  sub- 
mitted to  this  committee.  If  you 
want  my  individual  opinion,  I  am 
willing  to  give  it  toi  you. 

Ald.  McCormick:  No,  I  do  not 
vant  your  opinion.  I  merely  want 
^0  ask  you,  representing  the  Cor- 
Doration  Counsel's  office,  whether 
^ou  desire,  on  behalf  of  the  Mayor, 
bn  behalf  of  the  Corporation  Coun- 
sel, and  on  behalf  of  yourself,  to 
isk  Mrs.  Eaton  any  questions. 

Mr.  Wright:  I  am  not  author- 
zed  to  ask  any  questions  on  behalf 
)f  the  Mayor;  I  am  not  directed  on 
)ehalf  of  the  Corporation  Counsel 
0  ask  any  questions  on  behalf  of 
pe  Corporation  Counsel;  and  I  have 
10  desire  to  ask  any  questions  on 
ny  own  behalf.  I  am  perfectly 
villing  to  tender  my  servic'es  to  the 
I'ommittee,  as  well  as  to  represent 
he  Mayor  and  the  Corporation 
Counsel — 


The  Chairman  :  How  long  have 
you  been  here  this  morning? 

Mr.  Wright:  — ^^because  the 
committee  has  just  as  much  right 
to  my  services  as  the  Mayor  or  the 
Corporation  Counsel. 

The  Chairman  :  How  long  have 
you  been  here  this  morning,  Mr. 
Wright? 

Mr.  Wright:     Since  11  o'clock. 

'Ald.  McCormick:  Are  assistant 
corporation  coun&els  permitted  to 
go  to  the  various  Council  com- 
mittees, and  tender  their  services, 
without  the  authority  of  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel? 

Mr.  Wright:  Surely,  because 
the  aldermen  individually,  as  well 
as  the  committees,  have  called  upon 
me  and  other  members  of  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel's  office  for  in- 
dividual opinions,  and  ifor  work  in 
drawing  up  ordinances,  and  I  have 
been  .very  willing  and  glad  to  tender 
my  services  to  any  alderman,  on 
any  question  touching  the  City's 
business,  that  he  desires  my  serv- 
ices in. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  understand 
that  individually,  but  does  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  sanction  them 
coming  over  and  volunteering  their 
services  without  being  assigned  by 
him  to  this  committee,  to  give  us. 
legal  advice? 

Mr.  Wright:  I  do  not  know 
that.  I  do  not  know  what  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  sanctions.  I  think 
he  is  better  able  to  answer  that  than 
I  am. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  do  not  think 
that  is  a  fair  question. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Now,  De- 
Priest,  he  can  take  care  of  himself, 
better  than  you  can. 

Ald.  Powers  :  What  is  the  use 
of  wasting  our  time  in  this  matter, 
Mr.  Chairman? 

Ald.  Miller:  I  would  like  to  ask 
the  committee  to  proceed  with  the 
matter  in  hand. 

The  Chairman  :  All  right.  Are 
there  any  further  questions?

March  6,  1916.  ': 


Ald.  McCormick:  No. 
The  Chairman  :  Have  any  other 
members  of  the  committee  any 
other  questions  to  ask?  What 
jurisdiction  did  you  have,  Mrs. 
Eaton,  over  your  employes  in  your 
department? 

A.  Simply  instructing  them  in 
their  work,  and  planning  out  their 
work,  and  co-operating  with  them. 
I  have  no  power  of  discharge  or 
hiring. 

The   Chairman:      (Q.)     Did   you 
have  anything  to  do  with  regard  to 
their  daily  attendance  at  the  office? 
A.     I  kept  a  record.     I  am  very 
glad   you   brought   that   point  out, 
Aid.  Lynch.     From  the  7th  of  No- 
vember— first,  I  would  like  to  state 
that  all  during  the  summer  we  were 
short  of  help  in  the  office,  because 
much  of  it  had  been  laid  off,  many 
persons  had  been  laid  off  for  rea- 
sons of  economy.     Then  they  were 
getting  out  that  directory,  the  social 
service  directory;  and  most  of  the  in- 
vestigators  from  my  department — 
those  who  were  left — were  working 
on  that  with  the  directory  committee, 
—that  is,  to  get  the  social  service 
directory,  to  show  who  the  people 
were  that  were  not  working.    Prac- 
tically all  summer  I  had  one,  some- 
times  none,    and  never   more  than 
two  investigators  for  the  report  that 
was    submitted    to    Mr.    Kennedy's 
committee,   that   Mr.   DePriest  was 
on,  and  Mr.  Kennedy  was  Chairman 
of,    for    the   Thirty-five   Wards    in 
Chicago, — the  Mayor's  Special  Com- 
mittee,— which    work    was    turned 
over  to  my  bureau  to  furnish  in- 
formation as  to  the  best  places  for 
social  centers  in  public  schools,  the 
location   of   playgrounds,    and   that 
sort  of  thing;  and  that  was  made 
with  only  one  or  two  investigators, 
working    irregularly,    and    part   of 
the  time  only  myself.     As  I  stated 
before,    almost   500   of    the   reports 
were  made,   and  the  entire  survey 
was    longhandcd;    and   I   think   the 
material  is  in  a  drawer,  or  should 
be  in  the  dniwer  in  the  room  I  oc- 
cupied as  ail  ol'lict'.  now.     Hut  wlien 


the    social    service    directory    was. 
published  in  October,  the  investiga- 
tors  of   the   department   were   re- 
turned back  to  the  survey  bureau; 
and  I  then  inaugurated  a  system  to 
try  to  protect  the  Civil  Service  in- 
vestigators   there,    so    that    never 
again   could   they  be   dismissed   as 
unqualified,    as    I    felt    they    were 
qualified.     Each  week  I  had  cards 
made  out — and  each  of  the  investi- 
gators had  them — with  the  name  of 
the  investigator  on  the  top  of  the 
card,  each  day  during  the  week,  and 
what  her  duties  were,  and  how  she 
performed   them — or   rather,    what 
she  performed;   and  at  the  end  of 
the  week  they  were  signed  by  my- 
self, "Work  satisfactory.  Page  Wal- 
ler Eaton,   Superintendent  of  Sur- 
veys."    With  the  five  investigators, 
that  report  was  put  on  one  sheet  of 
paper,  which  was  filed  in  the  box 
file  on  top  of  my  desk,  which  I  pre- 
sume is  there  now.  Each  individual 
investigator  had  the  card  returned  to 
her,  with  her  work  signed  "satisfac- 
tory", so  that  in  future  if  there  was 
ever  any  talk  of  discharging  those 
Civil     Service     investigators,     they 
would  say :  "We  will  look  to  our  Su- 
perintendent.    Our  work  was  satis- 
factory to  her,   and  we  are  not  t^ 
blame."    I  have  done  that  since  the 
7th  day  of  November,  and  the  whole 
matter  is  a  matter  of  record,  sheet 
after  sheet,  for  every  week  of  the 
time  the  investigators  were  turned 
back. 

The  Chairman  :     What,   if  any- 
thing, did  you  have  to  do  with  the 
payroll  regarding  your  department? 
A.     Nothing. 

The  Chairman  :  Who  made  out 
the  identification  slips? 

A.  I  judge  the  Secretary,  Mrs. 
Howe's  secretary,  made  out  the 
identification  slips.  They  were  all 
signed  bv  the  Commissioner,  of 
course.  The  head  of  the  depart- 
ment signs  those. 

The  Chairman:  Do  you  know 
anylhing  about  the  "S"  fund  for 
personal  expenses?

A.  I  do  not  know  anything  about 
I  he  various  funds.  I  do  not  know 
anything  about  that  at  all. 

Ald.  Miller  :  When  you  read  the 
daily  papers,  and  see  the  action  of 
the  Finance  Committee,  the  action 
that  they  had  taken  with  regard  to 
your  position,  Mrs.  Eaton,  and  other 
positions  of  heads  of  different  de- 
partments, did  you  know  then  and 
there  that  that  action  was  taken  be- 
cause those  Aldermen  were  anti- 
administration  Aldermen,  and  that 
they  abolished  those  positions  in 
order  to  embarrass  the  Mayor? 

The  Chairman  :  Where  did  you 
get  that  information,  now?  From 
fche  newspapers? 

Ald.  Miller:  From  the  action  of 
the  Finance  Committee,  and  the  re- 
ports of  the  press  that  those  posi- 
tions were  abolished;  and  they  were 
labolished  by  Aldermen  that  are 
anti-administration  Aldermen. 

k.THE  Chairman  :  What .  remarks 
ere  made  in  the  press?  Whom 
ere  they  quoting? 
I  Ald.  Miller:  Well,  the  different 
papers  stated  the  procedure  and 
proceedings  that  occurred  in  that 
meeting.  They  did  not  go  on  to 
show  that,  but  that  was  the  action. 
A.ny  10-year  old  boy  knows  that  on 
any  street  in  the  City  of  Chicago, 
!that  peruses  any  of  your  daily 
papers,  and  they  are  pretty  much 
mthentic. 

The  Chairman  :  Oh,  you  were  in- 
luenced  by  the  quotations  from  the 
/arious  heads  of  the  departments, 
vere  you  not,  whose  departments 
vere  cut? 

Ald.  Miller:  Not  necessarily. 
That  cut  was  made  for  political 
©asons,  and  none  other,  positively. 

Ald.  McCormigk:  Well,  now,  just 
moment.      You    are    making    a 
tatement  here — 

Ald.  Miller:    Sir? 

Ald.  Mccormick:  You  say  that 
he  Finance  Committee — are  you 
dlling  to  go  on  record  as  saying 
hat  the  Finance   Committee  made 


these  cuts  for  political  reasons,  and 
no  other? 

Ald.  Miller:     Yes,  to  my  mind. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  Oh,  that  is 
another  thing. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  can  see  no  other 
reason. 

The  Chairman:  That  is  his 
opinion. 

Ald..  Miller:  And  any  other 
fair-minded  man  could  see  no  other 
reason  than  that  they  wanted  to 
embarrass  the  Mayor,  and  show  up 
the  administration;  and  it  was 
practically  nearly  all  Republican 
aldermen  that  did  so,  and  it  was  no: 
credit  to  their  party. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  (Q.)  Mrs. 
Eaton,  you  stated  that  you  filed 
those  reports^ 

A.  You  mean,  those  weekly  re- 
ports ? 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  These 
various  reports;  you  filed  them? 

A.    Yes. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Did  you 
file  them  with  Mrs.  Rowe,  or  did 
you  file  them  in  the  office? 

A.  All  the  work  of  my  depart- 
ment, of  my  bureau,  is  in  the  office, 
and  Mrs.  Rowe  knows  where  they 
are,  and  I  have  shown  them  to  her 
on  various  occasions. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  But  I 
mean,  you  did  not  make  it  a  prac- 
tice of  filing  or  handing  those  re- 
ports personally  to  Mrs.  Rowe? 

A.  It  never  was  customary.  The 
survey  bureau  work  stayed  in  the 
survey  bureau  room,  but  they  were 
always  at  Mrs.  Rowe's  disposal. 
Every  particle  of  work,  of  course, 
was  at  the  service  of  the  head  of 
the  department,  whenever  she 
wished  it,  at  all  timesi. 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  But  you 
did  not  bring  them  to  her  per- 
sonally? 

A.  She  has  seen  them;  I  have 
showed  them  to  her,  and  told  her 
what  a  fine  system  I  thought  it  was, 
so    that    always    at    any    time    you

•could  turn  ■.back  and  see  what  a 
given  employe  was  doing  at  'any  day 
in  the  week. 

Ald.  McGormick:     (Q.)     Did  you 
ever   put   them    in    envelopes,    and 
hand  them  to  Mrs.  Rowe? 
A.    Never. 

Ald.  McGormick:  That  is  all. 
Ald.  Kennedy:  I  would  like  to 
ask,  in  connection  with  the  re- 
marks lof  Aid.  Miller,  whether  or  not 
Mrs.  Rowe  recommended  that  this 
position  be  abolished,  when  she  ap- 
peared before  the  Finance  Com- 
mittee, as  an  anti- administration 
measure?  Does  the  Ghairm'an  re- 
call whether  that  occurred? 

The  Chairman:  There  was  so 
much  discussion  in  relation  to  that 
department,  that  it  is  a  hard  matter 
to  recall  exactly. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  I  have  been  in- 
formed that  Mrs.  Rowe  suggested 
that  that  particular  branch  of  her 
department  could  be  conducted— 

The  Chairman:  Could  be  con- 
ducted by  a  certain  number  of  ad- 
ditional investigators. 

Ald.  McCormick  :     Where  did  you 
get  that  information,  Aid.  Kennedy? 
Ald.     Kennedy:     From    one     of 
those  who  were  present  at  the  hear- 
ing. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Is  that  a  mere 
statement,  or  is  that  authentic? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  That  is  authen- 
tic. 

Ald.  Miller:     Is  that  a  question? 
The  Chairman  :     No,  no. 
Ald.    Kennedy:     Alderman   Ker- 
ner  is  present.   He  was  a  member  of 
the  Finance  Committee.    He  will  re- 
call the  incident. 

Ald.  Kerner:  If  my  recollection 
serves  me  right,  Mr.  Chairman,  T 
think  llial,  Mrs.  Rowe  said  that  if 
one  of  the  departments  was  to  be 
abolished,— that  is,  the  employment 
department,  or  the  deparlmont  of 
social  surveys — she  would  rather 
have  the  social  surveys  department 
abolished. 


Ald.  McCormick  :    The  social  sur- 
veys? 

Ald.  Kerner:  Yes,  the  social 
survey  department. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  would  like  to 
ask  one  question  of  Aid.  Kerner.. 

The  Chairman:  Have  you  fin- 
ished with  the  present  witness? 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  cut  in  a 
little  while  ago,  and  you  have  al- 
lowed a  deviation  from  your  regular 
routine. 

The  Chairman  :  If  there  are  no 
further  questions,  we  will  excuse 
Mrs.  Eaton  for  the  time  being. 

Ald.  Martin:  Before  she  leavesa 
I  would  like  to  ask  one  more  ques^ 
tion. 

The   Chairman  :     Then  first  as 
your  question.  Aid.  DePriest. 

Ald.  DePriest  :     Aid.  Kerner,  w 
Mrs.  Rowe  given  the  alternative  o 
having  either  one  of  the  two  posi-. 
tions  being  abolished? 

Ald.  Kerner  :  That  is  my  under 
standing. 

Ald.  DePriest  :     It  was  put  up 
her  in  that  light,  and  she  had  to  ac-^ 
cept  one  or  the  other? 

Ald.  Kerner:  I  think  it  was  put 
up  in  this  way,  that  if  the  Finance 
Committee  decided  to  abolish  one  of 
the  departments,  which  one  she 
would  rather  have  abolished. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Yes,  but  she  did 
not  recommend  that  this  department 
be  abolished  of  her  own  accord,  dm 
she? 

Ald.  Kerner:     Oh,  no. 
Ald.  Martin  :     I  would  like  to  ask 
Mrs.  Eaton  one  question. 

0.  Mrs.  Eaton,  what  is  the  line 
of  work  in  your  department:  what 
is  the  line  of  work  composed  of? 

A.  Ai'e  you  familiar.  Alderman, 
with  the  provisions  of  the  ordi- 
nance? 

Ald.   Martin:     Yes.    in   some  re- 
spects, but  not  in  all  resitects. 
A.     The    provisions   of   the  ordi- 
there    are    five    sections   of

the  ordinance.  Of  course,  the  first 
is  the  creation  of  the  department; 
and  the  second  is  the  executive  de- 
partment of  the  City  of  Chicago. 

Ald.  Martin:  I  mean,  of  your 
particular  work. 

A.  Of  my  particular  bureau,  it  is 
to  collect  material  relative  to  va- 
grancy, poverty,  crime,  delinquency, 
the  recreation  of  Chicago,  and  in 
fact,  everything  dealing — I  am  not 
quoting  word  for  word,  but  this  is 
the  intent — 

Ald.  Martin  :     That  is  all  right. 

A.  — everything  bearing  upon 
human  life;  and  then  to  make  rec- 
ords, and  then  make  recommenda- 
tions to  the  City  Council,  or  other 
law-enacting  bodies,  in  order  that 
better  conditions  may  be  brought 
about,  and  helped. 

Ald.  Martin:  (Q.)  Better  con- 
ditions of  what? 

A.  Better  conditions  of  humanity. 
I  want  to  go  on  further,  and  say 
that  I  consider  the  bureau  of  sur- 
veys, utterly  regardless  of  the  fact 
of  whether  I  am  there  or  not,  as 
the  heart  and  soul  of  Chicago. 
Thank  you. 

(witness  excused.) 

Ald.  MgCormick  :  Mr.  Chairman, 
I  move  that  Mr.  Stedman  be  heard 
next. 

The  Chairman  :  Very  well.  We 
will  put  Mr.  Stedman  on  the  stand. 
Swear  the  witness,  please. 

City  Clerk  Siman  :  Mr.  Sted- 
man, you  do  solemnly  swear  that 
you  will  tell  the  truth,  the  whole 
truth  and  nothing  but  the  truth,  in 
the  hearing  now  before  this  com- 
mittee, representing  the  City  Coun- 
cil of  the  City  of  Chicago,  so  help 
you  God? 

Mr.  Stedman  :     I  do. 

SEYMOUR   stedman, 

leaving  been  first  duly  sworn,  ap- 
peared before  the  committee,'  and 
estified  as  follows: 


The  Chairman:  (Q.)  what  is 
your  name? 

A.     Seymour   Stedman. 

Q.     What  is  your  address? 

A.     1108  East  66th. 

Q.  What  is  your  business  or 
occupation? 

A.     Lawyer. 

Q.  Now,  Mr.  Stedman,  will  you 
kindly  give  your  testimony  to  the 
committee  in  regard  to  the  matter 
in  controversy. 

A.  I  think  it  would  be  simplified 
if  you  asked  questions,  because 
most  all  I  know  is  hearsay.  I  can 
reply,  perhaps,  to  a  question  that 
was  asked  Mrs.  Eaton,  that  would 
clear  up  the  matter  Aid.  Miller  had 
in  mind.  He  asked  whether  her 
attorney  was  familiar  with  the  gen- 
eral provisions  of  the  Civil  Service 
Act.  My  answer  is  "Yes".  Ques- 
tion: Did  you  know  at  that  time 
that  that  was  a  Civil  Service  De- 
partment? Answer:  No.  Another 
question:  On  what  basis  did  you 
assume  that  it  was  not?  Answer: 
Because  it  was  an  immediate  ap- 
pointment, immediately  after  elec- 
tion, and  I  did  not  know,  neither 
was  I  informed,  that  Mrs.  Page 
Waller  Eaton  bad  taken  any  Civil 
Service  examination;  and  I  assumed 
that  the  head  of  the  department 
does  not  come  under  Civil  Service. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  A  question 
right  there,  Mr.  Stedman — 

A.     Surely. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  Did  you 
know,  Mr.  Stedman,  that  the  law 
provides,— the  Civil  Service  Law 
provides — that  when  a  temporary 
appointment  is  granted,  it  must  be 
done  with  the  sanction  of  the  Civil 
Service   Commissioners? 

A.  I  assume  so,  but  this  was  a 
60-day  appointment,  and  I  was  not 
aware  at  that  time  that  Mrs.  Eaton 
had  taken  that  examination.  But 
I  had  that  in  mind,  and  wanted  to 
clear  that  up. 

The  Chairman:  Have  you  any- 
thing else  in  mind,  Mr.  Stedman? 


3478 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


A.     No>. 

The  Chairman  :  Have  any  mem- 
bers of  the  committee  any  ques- 
tions? 

Ald.  Blaha:  I  desire  a  little  in- 
formation. 

Q.  When  did  Mrs.  Eaton  first 
come  to  you  in  reference  to  these 
checks? 

A.     I  think  it  was  July  or  June. 
She  can  remember  the  date  better 
than  I  can.     It  was  right  after  the 
,  second  payment,  I  think. 

.Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.).  She  told  you 
about  them  then? 

A.     She  told  me  about  it. 
Ald.  Blaha:      (Q.)     And  did  she 
tell  you — 

A.  (Continuing.)  And  told  sev- 
eral other  people  afterwards. 

Ald.  Blaha:  '  (Q.)  She  told  you 
that  it  was  a  loan,  and  that  she  ex- 
pected to  get  it  back? 

A  She  told  me  in  substance  as 
she  has  told  you,  that  she  met  Mrs. 
Rowe  'in  the  Otis  building,  and  that 
she  told  her— she  told  me  that  Mrs. 
Rowe  had  informed  her  that  Billy 
had  had  some  heavy  campaign  ex- 
penses, and  that  they  would  all  have 
to  contribute  to  make  it  up. 

Ald.  McCormigk:  (Q.)  Whom 
did  you  understand  was  meant  by 
"Billy"? 
A.  Mr.  William  Hale  Thompson. 
Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Now,  Mr. 
Stedman,  you  say  they  all  had  to 
make  up  campaign  expenses.  That 
is  different  from  what  she  stated  on 
the  stand  here.  She  said  she  was 
giving  it  as  a  loan,  and  expected  it 
to  be  repaid. 

A.  I  do  not  recall  that  she  said 
a  loan.  She  said  it  would  be  paid 
back;  but  of  course  I  did  not  pay 
any  more  attention  to  that  than 
you  do.  T  did  not  assume  it  was 
a  loan.  There  is  no  use  fooling 
ourselves.  It  was  a  contribution, 
and  she  never  expected  to  get  it 
l)ack,  and  you  know  it,  and  so  does 
every  man  in  this  case.

Ald.  Blaha:     That  is  your  opin- 
ion. 

A.     That  would  be  your  opinion, 
and  that  is  mine. 

Ald.  Blaha  :     You  are  entitled  to 
your  opinion. 

Mr.  Stedman:     Certainly. 
Ald.  Blaha:      (Q.)      If  she  told 
you  last  July,  you  did'  not  advise 
her  at  that  time  to  make  this  mat- 
ter public,  did  you? 

A.  No,  sir,  I  did  not  advise  her 
to  make  it  public.  I  knew  her 
financial  condition.  She  spoke  to  me, 
and  we  discussed  the  question  as  to 
whether  she  ought  to  speak  to  Mr. 
Thompson  about  it. 

The  Chairman:  And  you  ad- 
vised her  not? 

A.     I  was  not  certain  what  to  do  i 
on  that,  Alderman.     Here  was  the 
situation:   If  the  Mayor— if  it  was 
called  to  his  attention  that  she  ob- 
jected to  it,  then  there  was  hostility 
in  the  camp.     At  that  time  there  =• 
would  be  the   word  of   Mrs.   Rowe 
against  Mrs.  Eaton,  they  would  stand 
side  by  side.     It  was  very  easy  to 
change  a  position  in  that  office.    That  i 
would  be  one  situation.     It  was  a 
question  I  did  not  feel  certain  in  my- 
own  mind  about  at  all,  as  to  whether 
it  was  advisable.  I  asked  her.  '"NMiat 
are  you  going  to  do?"    She  though 
of  discontinuing  it,  and  I  said,    wnat ; 
are  you  going  to  do?   Where  are  you- 
going?    Where    is    your    position. 
How  are  you  going  to  take  care  of 
the  obligations  you  are  under?  You 
worked  hard  during  the  campaign, 
and  you  are  in  debt." 

Ald.     Blaha:      (Q.^     When    did 
she  see  you  after  that  with  I'^Sfrdri 
to    this,    when    these    things    tlrsUL 
c a  1110  up? 

A.  Slic  saw  me  a  week  or  twO' 
after  that,  when  I  called  in  ^y 
Gardner  and  had  him  go  with  her  to 
tlie  bank,  and  I  gave  Mr.  Gardneri 
instructions  as  to  wliat  to  do. 

Ald.  Blaita:      (0-^      Au.l  all  t.hi*j

A.  About — well,  I  cannot  tell  just 
how  long  ago  before  this  came  out — 
I  was  informed  that  the  Tribune 
knew  of  the  circumstances,  and  had 
known  of  them  for  some  time,  and 
they  proposed  to  publish  it;  and  we 
did  what  we  could  with  them — the 
party  representing  them — to  re- 
strain them  for  a  while.  They  did 
hold  off  perhaps  eight  weeks.  Other- 
wise it  would  have  come  out  two 
months  ago. 

Ald.  Blaha:  (Q.)  Well,  I  do 
not  care  to  criticise,  or  ask  any  more 
questions,  but  I  think  that  that  mat- 
ter ought  to  have  been  brought  out 
the  minute  this  crime,  as  you  might 
call  it,  was  committed;  it  ought  to 
have  been  made  public  at  once,  and 
brought  out  at  that  time. 

A.  So  do  I.  Everybody  ought  to 
have  all  their  cards  on  the  table, 
and  if  they  were  there  would  be  a 
cleaning  out  from  the  sky  down  un- 
der the  earth  in  this  building,  and 
the  men  in  it.  Let's  not  jolly  our- 
selves on  that.  You  and  I  have  been 
in  the  political  game  too  long. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  Well,  I  do  not  know 
as  I  would  have  held  this  matter 
as  long  as  that.  I  think  I  would 
have  had  the  cleaning  out. 

A.  You  would  have  held  it  back 
as  long  as  was  convenient  to  serve 
your  personal  interest. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  I  did  not  know  you 
were  personally  interested. 

A.  I  am  saying  what  you  would 
do. 

Ald.  Blaha:  You  do  not  know 
that;  that  is  your  assumption. 

A.  Well,  I  am  not  trying  to  fool 
myself  at  all. 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
3ther  questions? 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q,)  Mr.  Sted- 
nan,  are  you  an  officer  of  the  court? 

A.     The  Supreme  Court  said  so. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  glad  to 
inow  that. 

A.  They  might  have  made  a  mis- 
ake,  but  they  did  say  it. 


Ald.  DePriest^:  Well,  I  suppose 
that  is  possible. 

A.     It  might  not  he  the  first  time. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  May  I  ask 
you  when  Mrs.  Eaton's  financial  ob- 
ligations were  wiped  out? 

A.  Shortly  before  this  last  pay- 
ment, as  I  understand,  or  maybe  the 
payment  just  prior,  or  the  one  prior 
to  that. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Well,  if  you  did 
not  understand  the  position  as  being 
a  Civil  Service  position — and  it  is 
possible  you  did  not — you  did  know, 
however,  that  money  paid  to  hold 
the  position  was  morally  wrong? 

A.     Was  what? 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)^  Morally 
wrong. 

A.     Morally  wrong?    Yes. 

Ald.  DePriest  :     Sure. 

A.  Sure,  absolutely.  No  question 
about  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  And  you 
let  your  client  go  on? 

A.  Just  as  I  know  it  is  morally 
wrong  not  to  enforce  the  laws.  If  we 
enforced  them  here,  there  would  be 
probably  90  per  cent  of  us  in  jail. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Well,  I  guess  you 
are  talking  from  experience.  You 
ought  to  know. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  There  is  no 
objection  to  Mr.  Alexander  asking 
any  questions,  is  there? 

The  Chairman:  No  objection  in 
the  least. 

Ald.  DePriest:  There  is  no  ob- 
jection to  anybody  asking  any  ques- 
tions they  want  to  ask,  is  there? 

The  Chairman  :  I  think  the  Law 
Department  should  endeavor  to  co- 
operate with  the  committee — 

Ald.  Stern  :  Instead  of  whisper- 
ing around. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  T  have  a  right  to 
ask  anything  from  the  Law  Depart- 
ment. 

The  Chairman:  The  Law  De- 
partment seems  to  be  prompting  you.

March  6,  1916. 


Alb.  DePriest:'  That  is  your  in- 
terpretation of  it. 

The  Chairman  :  I  noticed  that 
he  was  prompting  you. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  That  is  your  in- 
terpretation. You  and  I  might  as 
well  agree  to  disagree. 

The  Chairman:     Yes,  you  and  I 
seldom  get  along  together  nowadays. 
Ald.  DePriest:     That  is  a  com- 
pliment to  you. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  We  do  not 
want  Mr.  Alexander  to  understand 
that  he  does  not  have  the  right  to- 
ask  questions,  that  is  all. 

Ald.  DePriest:  That  is  some 
more  of  your  Sixth  Ward  sarcasm. 
Q.  Now,  Mr.  Stedman,  you  stated 
a  while  ago— and  if  I  am  wrong,  I 
would  like  to  have  you  correct  me— 
I  understood  you,  in  answering  Aid. 
Blaha  a  while  ago,  to  say  that  you 
did  not  have  Mrs.  Eaton  expose  this 
so-called  graft  until  it  suited  your 
personal  convenience.  May  I  ask  you 
what  you  meant  by  that? 

A.  I  never  made  the  statement, 
and  therefore  I  cannot  answer  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  ask  to  have 
the  answer  read. 

A.  I  will  say  that  there  was  no 
question  about  my  personal  con- 
venience in  it  in  any  way,  shape  or 
form. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  may  have  mis- 
understood, but  I  would  like  to 
hear  the  record. 

The  record  was  then  read  by  the 
reporter. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  simply  wanted 
him  to  explain  his  personal  inter- 
est. 

The  Witness:     What? 
Ald.  DePriest:    To  explain  what 
you  mean  by  "personal  interest". 

A.     I  said  I  had  no  personal  in- 
terest  in   it.     Alderman  Blaha   as- 
sumed I  did  have,  by  his  question. 
Ald.    DePuikst:      That    is    all    T 
wanted. 


A.  I  have  no  personal  interest 
in  this. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  When  did 
you  first  advise  Mrs.  Eaton  in  a 
professional  way? 

A.  I  think  the  first  time  was  in 
the  publication  of  a  magazine  in 
which  she  was  associated  with  Dr. 
Butler,  or  it  may  have  preceded 
that,— some  ten  years  ago.  That 
was  the  first  time.  It  might  have 
been  twelve  years  ago"  or  nine  years 
ago. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
know  that  Mrs.  Eaton  had  tried  to 
see  the  Mayor  several  times? 

A.  I  cannot  say  that  I  did  know. 
She  said  she  called  over  there. 

Ald.   DePriest:      (Q.)      Did  you 
ever  advise  her  to  make  the  matter  > 
known  to  the  Mayor? 
A.     I  did  not. 

Ald.  DePriest  :     (Q.)     You  never 
advised  her,  then,  to  get  into  com-  i 
munication   with    the    Mayor,   with 
reference  to  the  affidavits  that  re- 
ceived some  notoriety? 

A.  No,  I  overlooked  that  until 
I  saw  a  few  days  ago  in  the  paper 
where  Mr.  Lundin  announced  that 
he  was  to  fill  out  one  of  those  ap- 
plications. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Did  you 
know  that  the  night  the  Mayor 
ordered  the  saloons  closed  in  Chi- 
cago on  Sunday,  he  then  stated  thai 
he  would  have  placed  at  each  pohco 
station  and  public  place  in  Chicago 
blank  affidavits  so  that  each  citizen 
could  make  affidavit  showing  vio- 
lations of  the  law? 

A.  Pardon  me,  but  I  probably 
overlooked  that. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  T  beg  your  par- 
don. 

A.  I  did  not  recall  it— I  do  not 
know  that  I  ever  saw  it  until  it  wa>| 
mentioned  in  the  paper  yesterda>. 
Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Well,  is  i«

moral  law,  and  continue  to  violate 
that  moral  law  without  advising 
them  to  the  contrary? 

A.    No,  that  is  not  strictly  ethical. 

Ald.  DePriest:     I  think  so. 

A.  It  is  too  hard;  we  cannot  all 
live  up  to  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  do  not  live 
up  to  your  own  statement  of  ethics 
then. 

A.     Absolutely  not,  and  you  can- 
not do  it,  in  this  situation. 
Ald,  DePriest  :     Thank  you. 

A.  You  cannot,  and  no  other 
man  can. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  talking 
about  you.  I  do  not  pretend  to  be 
anything  along  that  line. 

A.  Well,  you  may  be  able  to  live 
up  to  it,  I  think;  you  probably  can. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  not,  and  I 
don't  pretend  to  be. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  Mr.  Sted- 
man,  you  made  a  statement  with 
regard  to  the  cleaning  out  of  the 
Hall  from  the  sky  line  down  to  the 
ground,  or  under  the  ground. 

Ald.  DePriest:  He  hasn't  got  a 
job,  that  is  why. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  ask  the  gentle- 
man, does  he  make  that  as  a  charge? 

A.     Generally  speaking,  yes. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  Have  you 
any  proof  to  that  effect? 

A.  If  we  were  to  discuss  what 
constitutes  proof,  we  would  prob- 
ably become  involved  in  consider- 
able discussion.  You  and  I  might 
differ  as  to  what  proof  is. 

Ald.  Miller:     That  is  all. 

The  Chairman  :  Any  other  ques- 
tions? 

Ald.  McCormick:  (Q.)  Mr. 
Stedman,  if  you  had  happened  to 
have  had  your  attention  called  to 
these  papers  to  which  Aid.  DePriest 
refers,  what  importance  would  you 
attach  to  those? 

A.     Absolutely  none. 

Ald.  McCormick:     That  is  all. 


The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
other  questions? 

A.  Unless  it  was  for  the  pur- 
pose of  having  an  ash  can  removed, 
or  something  like  that,  that  you 
would  make  an  ordinary  complaint 
of. 

The  Chairman:  Does  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  desire  to  ask  any 
questions? 

Ald.  McCormick:  Then  are  affi- 
davit forms  required  now? 

The  Witness:  No.  As  a  legal 
proposition,  it  would  amount  to 
nothing,  for  the  same  reasons  stated 
before. 

The  Chairman:  All  right,  Mr. 
Stedman.  We  just  desired  to  give 
you  an  opportunity  to  be  heard. 

The  Witness  :     Thank  you. 

The  Chairman:  If  there  are  no 
further  questions,  we  will  excuse 
the  witness. 

Witness  Excused. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  May  I  ask  Aid. 
McDermott  whether  he  has  any  re- 
latives in  the  Bureau  of  Social  Sur- 
vey? There  was  a  Miss  McDermott 
mentioned  there. 

Ald.  McDermott  :  No,  I  have  not 
got  a  relative  working  for  the  City, 
County,  State  or  Nation, — not  a  re- 
lation. My  family  is  off  the  pay- 
roll. Aid.  McCormick,  how  many 
have  you  got? 

Ald.  McCormick:  The  same  as 
you. 

Ald.  McDermott:  Let  us  shake 
hands,  then. 

Ald.  Ellison:  I  move  we  ad- 
journ until  2  o'clock,  Mr.  Chair- 
man. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  second  the  mo'- 
tion. 

The  Chairman:  It  has  been 
regularly  moved  and  seconded  that 
we  adjourn  until  2  o'clock.  If  there 
is  no  objection,  it  is  so  ordered. 

Recess  to  2  o'clock  P.  M.

The    icommittee    was     called    to

Present:

Also  present:

The   Chairman:     Let  Aid.   Rod- 
riguez be  sworn. 

William  E.  Rodriguez,  called  as 
a  witness,  having  been  first  duly 
sworn,  testified  as  follows: 

The  Chairman  :  What  is  your 
name? 

The  Witness:  William  E.  Rod- 
riguez. 

The  Chairman:  (Q.)  Where  do 
you  reside? 

A.     1400  North  Kedzie  avenue. 
The   Chairman:      (Q.)     What  is 
your  occupation  or  profession? 
A.    Lawyer. 

The  Chairman:  (Q.)  Also  al- 
derman of  the  Fifteenth  Ward? 

A.  Fifteenth  Ward  of  the  City  of 
Chicago. 

The  Chairman:  (Q.)  You  have 
presented  to  the  Council  the  mattoi- 
of  (Charges  pertaining  to  the  public 
welfare  bureau,  and  also  relative  to 
Mrs.  Rnwe,  preferred  by  Mrs. 
Eaton? 

A.     Yes.  sir. 


The  Chairman  :  (Q.)  The  com- 
mittee desires  that  you  be  heard  on 
the  subject,  and  think  that  perhaps 
it  will  be  unnecessary  for  us  to  ask 
any  questions  as  you  know  more 
about  it  than  the  members  of  th© 
committee.  The  committee  is  only 
the  committee  of  inquiry,  and  they 
desire  some  light  on  the  subject. 
Therefore  if  it  is  satisfactory  to 
you  you  may  proceed  and  after  you 
have  finished  if  the  members  of  the 
committee  wish  to  ask  any  ques- 
tions I  presume  you  are  ready  to 
answer  them? 
A.    Yes,  sir. 

The  Chairman  :    Very  well.    You. 
may  go  a;head. 

A.  On  the  28th   of  June,   1915,  I 
was  called  on  the  telephone  by  Sey- 
mour   Stedman.      He    asked   me   to 
come  to  his  office  on  a  matter  of 
some   importance.     I  went  over  to 
his  office  and  while  there  was  in- 
troduced to  Mrs.  Page  Waller  Eaton 
and  Mr.  Stedman  stated~I  don't  re- 
member just  the  words,   that  Mrs. 
Eaton  had  told  him  something  re- 
garding the  payment  of   a  part  of 
her  salary  to  Mrs.  Rowe.   Mrs.  Eaton 
then   told  me  the   following   story: 
That    shortly    after    she   had   been 
appointed  as  Commissioner  of  Pub- 
lic Welfare,  or  shortly  after  the  in- 
auguration  of   the   Mayor   she   had 
been  called  by  Mrs.  Rowe  to  some 
office,  I  think  the  office  was  in  the 
Otis  building,  though  I  am  not  sure 
about  that,  and  there  she  met  Mrs. 
Rowe  and  that  Mrs.  Rowe  told  ber 
that    she    was    appointed    superin- 
tendent of  the  Bureau  of  Survey  of 
the  Department  of  Public  Welfare 
and  that  Mrs.  Rowe  was  apponited 
the    Commissioner   of    Public    Wel- 
fare, and  Mrs.  Eaton  took  her  posi- 
tion.    T  don't  know  how  long  after 
that  Mrs.  Eaton  said  that  Mrs.  Rowe 
spoke  to  her  about  giving  up  part 
of  her  salary.     I  don't  believe  it  is 
necessary   for   me    to    go    into    the 
storv  as  *to  what  she  told  nie.  as  she 
has  "been  before  the  committoe. 

TiiK  (^jiairman:     T  think  it  would

Ald.  Rodriguez:  And  that  she 
protested,  and  at  first  she  did  not 
believe  it;  that  she  asked  Mrs.  Rowe 
whether  or  not  the  Mayor  knew  of 
it.  Mrs.  Rowe  said  that  he  did;  that 
she  herself,  Mrs.  Row^e,  w^as  likewise 
going  to  give  up  part  of  her  salary 
for  a  while,  and  that  it  was  in  the 
nature  of  a  loan  to  be  paid  back, 
something  to  that  effect.  I  don't  re- 
member the  exact  words.  The 
amount  was  one-third  of  her  salary. 
She  said  that  she  had  worked  sev- 
eral days,  and  I  believe  received  her 
first  pay  and  she  made  no  offer  to 
pay  anything,  and  Mrs.  Rowe  again 
talked  to  her  and  told  her  that  she 
would  have  to  come  across  with  one- 
third  of  the  salary  she  was  receiv- 
ing, and  she  said  that  Mrs.  Thomp- 
son— this  is  Mrs.  Eaton's  statement 
to  me — Mrs.  Rowe  said  that  Mrs- 
Thompson  had  called  Mrs.  Rowe  on 
the  wire  and  told  Mrs.  Row^e  that 
Mrs.  Eaton  would  have  to  come 
across.  Mrs.  Eaton  stated  that  she 
protested  at  it,  could  not  believe  it, 
and  she  shortly  after  went  to  see 
Mr.  Stedman.  I  believe  she  had  seen 
him  some  time  before  I  was  called 
into  the  office  of  Mr.  Stedman,  and 
Mr.  Stedman  I  suppose  had  advised 
Mrs.  Eaton  what  to  do  in  the  pre- 
mises. At  any  rate,  in  order  to  pro- 
tect herself,  Mr.  Stedman  I  believe 
advised  Mrs.  Eaton  in  my  presence 
to  have  somebody  see  her  make  the 
payment,  or  some  of  the  payments 
to  Mrs.  Rowe,  and  it  was  planned 
that  I  should  see  some,  or  one  of 
the  payments  made  on  this  day,  the 
28th  of  June.  I  was  to  meet  Mrs. 
Eaton,  or  at  least  see  her  at  the  First 
National  Bank,  I  believe  it  was,  I 
really  never  verified  the  bank,  and 
I  don't  remember  whether  that  is 
the  bank;  it  is  on  the  northwest  cor- 
ner of  Monroe  and  Dearborn  streets. 
T  went  back  to  my  office  and  shortly 
after  one  I  went  over  to  the  First 
National  Bank,  waited  around  there 
five  or  ten  minutes,  and  Mrs.  Eaton 
came  in.  She  came  into  the  women's 
part  of  the  bank  and  I  walked  into 
the  same  department  and  sat  down 


at  the  table.  Mrs.  Eaton  sat  do\Am 
at  the  same  table  and  wrote  a  check 
for  $43.00,  payable  to  currency,  and 
she  put  on  it  "To  Louise  Osborne 
Rowe,  Charity  Fund"  in  the  lower 
left  hand  corner  of  the  check.  She 
cashed  the  check  and  came  back  to 
the  table  with  $43.00,  a  twenty  dol- 
lar bill,  two  ten  dolfar  bills  and 
three  ones.  She  took  an  envelope 
of  the  First  National  Bank,  I  think 
that  is  the  name  of  the  bank,  though 
I  would  not  be  sure,  as  I  never  did 
any  business  with  it;  at  any  rate  she 
put  this  money  in  the  envelope;  1 
believe  it  was  a  green  envelope, 
$43.00.  She  sealed  the  envelope  and 
addressed  it  to  Louise  Osborne  Rowe, 
Commissioner  of  Public  Welfare, 
and  scratched  with  her  pen  over  the 
seal.  She  opened  her  handbag,  I  re- 
member, and  showed  me  that  it  was 
empty.  There  was  nothing  in  it,  and 
then  she  placed  the  envelope  in  the 
handbag  that  she  had  with  her.  Dur- 
ing the  time  we  were  in  the  bank, 
neither  she  nor  I  spoke  and  I  ap- 
peared to  be  not  taking  any  particu- 
lar notice  of  what  she  was  doing,  and 
yet  I  saw  everything  that  she  did, 
the  idea  being  that  nobody  should 
know  that  I  was  watching  her  or 
that  she  was  being  watched  or  that 
it  was  anything  out  of  the  ordinary. 
She  left  the  bank  and  I  followed  her, 
five  or  ten  feet,  sometimes  I  would 
be  closer,  and  we  walked  north  on 
Dearborn  street  to  Madison  on  the 
west  side  of  the  street,  west  on  Ma- 
dison street  on  the  south  side  of  the 
street  to  Clark  street,  across  the 
street  on  the  east  side  of  Clark  street 
and  walked  north  to  the  City  Hall 
Square  Building.  We  both  rode  up 
in  the  same  elevator  and  got  off,  I 
believe,  at  the  8th  floor,  whichever 
floor  the  department  is  on,  and  went 
into  the  office.  It  was  then  a  few 
minutes  of  two,  I  believe.  At  any 
rate,  we  had  been  in  the  office  five 
or  ten  or  fiften  minutes.  I  stood  in 
front  of  Mrs.  Eaton's  office  and  she 
went  in  and  sat  down  at  her  table 
and  took  the  envelope  out  of  the 
handbag  and  Mrs.  Rowe  walked  in.

As  she  walked  in  Mrs.  Eaton  walked 
out  of  her  office  with  the  envelope 
and  I  walked  towards  Mrs.  Rowe  as 
Mrs.  Eaton  walked  towards  her  and 
introduced    myself  to      Mrs.   Rowe, 
hastily,  and  she  opened  the  door  and 
as  I  walked  in  and  as  she  walked  in 
Mrs.  Eaton  went  in  one  step  ahead 
of  her  and  handed  Mrs.  Rowe  the  en- 
velope.  Mrs.  Rowe  took  the  envelope 
and  put  it  on  one  of  the  shelves  of 
her  desk,  which  I  believe  is  a  roll 
top  desk,  in  the  middle  of  the  desk. 
1  spoke  to  Mrs.  Rowe  then  for  fifteen 
minutes  or  half  an  hour  on  the  un- 
employed situation  and  so  forth  in 
the  City  of  Chicago,  and  what  the 
department  was  intending  to  do  and 
then  left.    I  made  a  notation  of  the 
time  in  my  diary.   That  is  why  I  am 
able   to   remember   the   exact  date, 
just  a  notation  that  I  had  met  Mrs. 
Rowe  for  the  first  time  on  the  28th 
day  of  June,   1915  at  2:15   o'clock, 
the  first  time  that  I  had  ever  met 
her,  and  I  heard  nothing  more.     I 
did  not  expect  for  some  time  to  hear 
anything  because  of  the  position  that 
Mrs.  Eaton  said  she  was  in  at  the 
time  I  spoke  to  her  in  Mr.  Stedman's 
office.  I  advised  that  the  thing  should 
be  exposed.    Mr.  Stedman  said   "Be- 
fore  it  is  exposed  there  should  be 
more    than    merely    Mrs.     Eaton's 
statement  of  the  payments,  and  in 
order  that  there  may  be,  we  should 
have  one  or  two  people  at  least  see 
payments  made".     I  thought  it  was 
a  very  good  idea  to  do  that  and  Mrs. 
Eaton  at  the   time   stated  that  she 
was  not  in  a  position  at  that  time  to 
give  up  her  position,   that  she  was 
in   debt,   that   she   owed   money   to 
some  friends,  but  that  just  as  soon 
as  she  was  out  of  debt  she  would 
resign.    T  am  trying  to  give  all  that 
took  place  at  the  office  at  that  time. 
Yes,   I  had  promised,   before  there 
was  anything  told  to  me  at  all,  that 
I  would  not  say  anything  about  it 
to   anybody  up  until  such  time   as 
Mrs.  Eaton  gave  her  permission,  and 
T  did  not  say  anything  about  it  to 
anyone.    I  never  spoke  of  it  T  don't 
believe   to  Mr.   Stedman   from   that 


day    until    within   the    last    three 
weeks.      Mrs.  Eaton  came  into  my 
office,  I  don't  remember  just  what 
day,  and  spoke  of  it  and  said  that 
she  was  going  to  resign  shortly  after 
that.     I  am  not  sure  but  what  Mr. 
Stedman  called  me  on  the  telephone, 
and  I  went  to  his  office  last  Satur- 
day.    I  saw  him  before  that  or  at 
least  talked  on  the   telephone   and 
made  the  appointment  before  Satur- 
day, and  I  was  to  meet  him  at  his 
office  with  Mrs.  Eaton  and  Mr.  Wil- 
liamson  also.     I  went  over  to  the 
office  and  Mrs.  Eaton  said  she  was 
going  to  resign;  that  she  had  cleared 
her  debts,  that  she  had  paid  all  the; 
debts  she  owed  and  was  going  to  re-,- 
sign  and  send  her  resignation  in  OE" 
that  day.     That  was  last  Saturday. 
We   spoke  of  the  resolution  to  be 
introduced  in  the  Council  and  I  sug- 
gested that  it  should  go  to  the  Civil 
Service  Committee  because  of  this 
being  a  Civil  Service  position.     My. 
suggestion  was   agreed   to   and  the 
resolution  I  drew  up,   and   as  you 
gentlemen  know,  introduced  in  the 
Council  last  Monday  afternoon. 
The  Chairman:     Is  that  all? 
Ald.  Rodriguez:     I  think  that  is 
all. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  Alderman,  you  said 
that  the  first  time  that  you  had 
knowledge  of  this  transaction  was 
on  the  28th  of  June,  1915. 

A.  Now  I  am  not  positive,  but  I 
might — I  am  not  positive  but  what 
I  spoke  with — I  feel  certain  that 
that  was  the  date.  Anyway  it  was 
within  three  or  four  days.  T  am  not 
sure  but  what  we  had  met — no,  I 
should  say  pretty  postively'  that 
that  was  the  first  I  heard,  the  28th 
of  June. 

Ar.D.  Blaha:  A  period  of  seven 
months  practically  elapsed,  and  in 
that  time  possibly  I't  payments 
could  have  been  made.  Don't  you 
think  (hat  you  could  have  verified 
these  payments  within  a  month  or 
two  monlhs? 
A.     Possibly.

Ajld.  Blaha:  Did  Mrs.  Rowe  or 
Mrs.  Eaton  rather  ever  tell  you  that 
she  paid  this  money  to  Mrs.  Rowe 
with  the  understanding  that  it  was 
a  loan  and  that  she  would  receive 
it  back?  For  your  information  I 
might  say  to  you  that  Mrs.  Eaton 
testified  here  this  morning  to  that 
effect. 

A.  Well,  I  believe  she  said  that 
it  would  be  in  the  form — when  Mrs. 
Eaton  protested  at  the  payment  of 
the  money,  Mrs.  Rowe  said,  "Why, 
it  will  only  be  in  the  form  of  a  loan. 
Mr.  Thompson  is  in  a  hole,  and  this 
money  will  go  to  support  his  sister 
in  law",  a  sister  of  Mrs.  Thompson. 

Ald.  Blaha:  How  long  ago  did 
Mrs.  Eaton  tell  you  that? 

A.     On  the  28th  of  June. 

Ald.  Blaha:  And  you  never 
'  made  any  investigation  as  to 
,  whether  that  was  the  fact  or  not  at 
I  that  time,  did  you? 

A.  The  '  only  investigation  I 
,  made  was  this  one,  that  I  have  told 
I  you. 

Ald.  Blaha:     This  last  one? 

A.  No,  the  one  on  the  28th  day 
of  June,  going  to  the  bank,  and  Mr. 
Stedman  said  that  he  was  going  to 
have  some  one  else  also  watch  one 
of  the  payments  being  made. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  Do  you  know  of 
any  reason  other  than  what  you 
stated,  that  she  was  helping  this 
party  supposed  to  be  in  distress, 
Mrs.  Mivelaz?  Do  you  know  of  any 
other  charities  that  were  supposed 
to  be  taken  care  of? 

A.  I  know  nothing  about  it 
other  than  what  I  have  stated  to 
you. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  Mrs.  Eaton  in  mak- 
ing out  the  checks  for  currency  in 
the  lower  left-hand  corner  in- 
scribed that  it  was  for  the  Louise 
Osborne  Rowe  Fund.  She  testified 
here  this  morning  that  she  ex- 
pected to  be  paid  back,  and  that  it 
was  in  the  nature  of  a  loan.  Now 
as  an  attorney  do  you  think  it 
ethical  to  let  a  matter  of  this  kind. 


of  such  great  importance  as  this 
question  of  splitting  salaries,  if  you 
thought  that  to  be  the  case  eight 
months  ago,  did  you  think  it 
ethical  to  let  that  go  for  seven  long 
months? 

A.  Unless  you  are  able  to  prove 
it,  yes,  and  unless  you  had  given 
your  word  of  honor  not  to  expose 
it,  without  the  permission  of  one 
of  the  parties  in  interest. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  Have  you  made  any 
investigation  at  all,  in  fairness  to 
Mrs.  Rowe,  whether  or  not  she  ever 
intended  to  pay  this  money  back? 

A.     I  have  not. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  The  only  testimony 
before  this  committee  is  the  testi- 
mony of  Mrs.  Eaton. 

The  Chairman:  Are  there  any 
other  questions? 

Ald.  Blaha:  I  just  wanted  to 
know.  This  resolution  was  intro;- 
duced  here  last  Monday  night  by 
one  of  the  respected  Aldermen,  and 
I  wanted  to  bring  out  the  fact  and 
let  this  committee  find  out  whether 
he  had  made  any  investigation  as 
to  the  truthfulness  himself,  or  of 
the  charge  that  Mrs.  Eaton  has 
made  in  reference  to  this  matter 
being  a  loan.  To  my  mind  there  is 
a  big  difference  between  paying  in 
a  certain  amount  of  money  as  a 
campaign  contribution,  or  for  the 
sake  of  holding  her  position, — there 
is  quite  a  big  difference  between 
that  and  the  loaning  of  a  sum  of 
money  with  the  intention  of  getting 
it  back.  Now  one  of  them  is  a 
criminal  charge  and  the  other  one 
is  one  that  is  justifiable  and  I  just 
wanted  to  bring  out  from  the  wit- 
ness here  whether  or  not  they  had 
taken  the  trouble  to  find  out  what 
was  really  the  fact  about  this. 

A.  I  should  have  been  glad  to  do 
it,  Mr.  Chairman,  if  I  had  known 
how  to  do  it. 

The  Chairman  :  The  committee 
is  now  trying  to  ascertain  whether 
there  is  any  foundation  to  the 
charge.

Ald.  DePriest:  Did  you  see  the 
check,  Alderman,  that  Mrs.  Eaton 
wrote  on  the  28th  day  of  June  your- 
self? 

A.     I  did.     I  saw  her  write  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Were  you 
close  enough  to  her  to  read  it? 

A.  I  was  within  three  feet  of 
her,  yes,  sir,  and  closer.  I  was  sit-

Ald.  Rodriguez:

them. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  There  was  a  no- 
tation on  one  of  those  checks,  down 
in  the  lower  left  hand  corner,  "Paid 
to  Louise  Osborne  Rowe  for  Charity 
purposes"  or  "Charity  Fund".  Do 
you  remember  that? 
A.  Yes,  sir,  I  do. 
Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Would  it 
have  been  possible  from  your  posi- 
tion in  following  Mrs.  Eaton  from 
the  First  National  Bank  Building  to 
the  offices  over  across  the  street 
here,  for  that  envelope  to  have  been 
removed  from  her  handbag  without 
your  seeing  it?  Would  that  have 
been  possible? 

A.  If  she  had  been  a  sleight  of 
hand  performer,  I  should  say  she 
could  have  done  it. 

Ald.   DePriest: 
have  been  done. 
A.     I  think  so. 
Ald.  DePriest: 
been  a  sleight  of

A.  The  only  opportunity  they 
would  have  had  to  do  it  would  have 
been  when  we  were  five  or  six  feet 
apart,  or  some  one  passed  between 
us  at  that  time. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  But  it  is 
possible*,  il  could  have  been  done? 


(Q.)      It   could

A.  Possibly,  if  Mrs.  Eaton  was 
in  a  conspiracy  to  fool  all  of  us, 
she  might  have  done  so. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  not  asking 
you  whether  she  was  in  a  con-, 
spiracy  or  not.  I  am  asking  you 
whether  that  could  have  been  done.  . 
Was  it  a  physical  possibility,  in 
other  words?  You  took  the  oath  of 
office  at  the  same  time  I  did,  and 
were  sworn  in,  weren't  you? 
A.  I  believe  I  did. 
Ald.  DePriest:  You  also  gave 
your  word  to  Mrs.  Eaton  and  to  Mr. 
Stedman  that  you  would  not  violate 
their  confidence.  Now  which  do 
you  consider  the  most  sacred,  your 
oath  of  office  or  your  word  given  to 
an  individual? 

A.  It  depends  upon  circum- 
stances. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  There  is  no  cir- 
cumstance under  which  you  would 
have  a  right  to  violate  your  oath  of. 
office  to  accommodate  an  individual. 
Ald.  Rodriguez:  I  don't  believe 
I  was  violating  my  oath  of  office. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Doesn't  your 
oath  consist  of  the  fact  that  you 
will  uohold  the  laws  of  the  State  of 
Illinois  and  the  rules  of  the  Coun- 
cil? 

Ald.  Rodriguez:  Not  without 
making  a  thorough  investigation. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  said  you 
never  tried  to  make  any  investiga- 
tion of  this. 

Ald.  Rodriguez:  I  was  waiting 
patiently  for  the  others  to  do  it. 
They  were  on  the  job  apparently. 
Ald.  DePriest:  Will  you  tell 
this  committee  why  you  waited 
until  the  last  meeting  of  the  City 
Council  before  you  made  these 
charges,  so  that  they  could  have  it 
and  use  it  for  a  possible  bomb- 
shell? 

A.  If  I  had  waited  a  week  longer 
you  would  have  accused  me  of  us- 
ing it  foi'  the  purposes  of  my  own 
campaign.  T  don't  care  whether  the

Thompson  ibuiich.  They  are  fifty- 
fifty  to  me. 

Ald.  DePriest:  That  is  perfectly 
natural  for  a  Socialist  to^  view  it 
that  way. 

A.     Certainly. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Then  you  had 
no  political  motive  whatever? 

A.     Not  that  I  can  see. 

Ald.  DePriest:  And  you  were 
not  being  used  as  a  political  cat's- 
paw? 

A.     By  whom? 

Ald.  DePriest:     By  anybody. 

A.  The  only  person  I  know  of 
who  has  anything  to  do  with  politics 
at  the  present  time  in  an  official 
way  is  myself,  nobody  else;  nobody 
else  knew  anything  about  it,  and 
Mr.  Kennedy,  my  colleague,  who 
usually  knows  what  I  am  going  to 
do  did  not  know  anything  about  it 
until  the  Clerk  read  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  not  accus- 
ing you.  I  simply  want  to  find  out 
about  it  for  my  own  edification. 

A.  I  never  met  Mr.  Brundage  or 
Mr.  Deneen,  and  I  never  talked  with 
Mr.  Merriam  or  Mr.  Kjellander  or 
Mr.  Stern  or  anybody  else. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Well,  Stern  is 
on  the  South  Side.  They  wouldn't 
do  anything  like  that  out  there. 
Him  and  Deneen  both  live  out  our 
way.  Now  did  Mrs.  Eaton  tell  you 
in  Mr.  Stedm'an's  office  that  she  was 
financially  embarrassed  at  that 
time? 

A.  She  did.  She  stated  that  that 
was  the  reason  why  she  continued 
in  employment  under  that  condition, 
because  'of  the  if  act  that  she  owed 
money  to  her  friends  and  she 
wanted  to  pay  that  before  she  left 
the  position.  She  said  tbat  at  that 
time. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Didn't  you  think 
as  an  alderman  it  was  your  duty  to 
see  that  this  prosecution  was  hur- 
ried through  and  exposed  to  the 
City  Council  at  once  and  not  take 
seven  months  to  do  it? 


A.  I  will  answer  that  by  saying 
that  I  have  got  a  lot  of  goods  at  the 
present  time  on  other  people  work- 
ing for  the  City,  and  if  I  bad  the 
absolute  goods  right  now  and  were 
sure  of  it,  I  would  introduce  it 
Wednesday  night,  but  I  shan't  do  it 
until  I  have  got  the  exact  goods. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Well,  let  it  be 
soon.  We  might  as  well  keep  this 
ball  rolling  while  we  are  about  it. 

The  Witness:  Yes,  let's  clean 
up. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Yes,  clean  it  all 
out,  let  it  hit  who  it  will.  That  is 
all,  Mr.  Chairman. 

The  Chairman  :  Does  any  otber 
member  of  the  committee  wisb  to 
ask  any  questions? 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
would  like  to  ask  Aid.  Rodriguez  a 
few  questions.  Aid.  Rodriguez,  you 
stated  that  you  were  called  upon  by 
Attorney  Stedman,  and  you  went  to 
his  office. 

A.    Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  Miller:  That  is  the  first 
that  you  knew  of  this  charge? 

A.  The  first  time  I  had  ever  met 
Mrs.  Eaton,  yes,  sir. 

Ald.  MiLLisR:  Then  on  the  28th 
day  of  June  you  saw  personally  this 
check  signed  for  this  money  that 
was  withdrawn  and  you  saw  the  en- 
velope handed  to  Mrs.  Rowe. 

A.     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  Now  then, 
your  oath  of  office  is  to  observe  the 
law.  Is  that  correct?  Do  I  quote 
correctly,  Mr.  Chairman? 

The  Chairman  :    What  is  that?    ' 

Ald.  Miller:  The  Alderman's 
oath  of  office  is  to  observe  the  law. 

A.     I  will  concede  that. 

Ald.  Miller:  Then  why  didn't 
you  then  and  there  forthwith  ob- 
serve the  law? 

A.     In  what  respect? 

Ald.  Miller:  Why  by  starting 
the  prosecution  immediately,  if 
there  was  anything  crooked  or  any

transaction    that    should    not    have 
been  going  on. 

A.  It  is  always  advisable  to  wait 
until  a  case  is  made  before  you 
bring  it. 

Ald.  Miller:  Well,  you  had  the 
case  at  that  time.  You  were  a  wit- 
ness yourself. 

A.  Mr.  Stedman  acted  as  attor- 
ney for  Mrs.  Eaton,  and  had  me  as 
a  part  of  the  plan  to  get  the  in- 
formation, exactly,  before  anything 
was  done.  He  likewise  after  I  spoke 
to  him  on  the  28th  of  June,  was  go- 
ing to  proceed  and  get  others,  so  he 
said,  to  see  the  same  thing,  and  I 
suppose  he  did.  I  did  not  know  he 
did  until  last  Saturday,  when  T  first 
saw  the  affidavit  of  Mr.  Gardner. 
That  is  the  first  time  I  had  known 
of  it. 

Ald.  Miller:  Did  Mr.  Gardner 
see  the  transaction  that  you  saw, 
after  you  had  seen  them? 

A.  I  don't  know.  I  suppose  so. 
His  affidavit  said  so. 

Ald.  Miller:    Before  or  after. 
A.     After. 

Ald.  Miller:     What  date  was  it 
Mr.  Gardner  saw  it? 
A.     I  don't  know. 
Ald.  Miller:    You  don't  know? 
A.     The  affidavit  will  show  that, 
but  I  don't  remember.     I  read  the 
affidavit  last  Saturday. 

Ald.      Miller:  Nevertheless, 

though,  you  base  your  charge  ab- 
solutely on  the  fact  of  what  you 
saw? 

A.  Partially.  I  would  not  have 
introduced  a  resolution  in  the 
Council  on  my  testimony  alone. 

Ald.  Miller:  As  a  lawyer,  Aid. 
Rodriguez,  were  you  aware  of  the 
statutes  that  were  in  existence  per- 
taining fo  Civil  Service  employes? 
•  A.  T  am  supposed  to  know  what 
it  is. 

Ald.  Mu.leii:  And  you  recognized 
Ibis  as  a  Civil  Service  position. 
Didn't  you  deem  it  wise  to  notify 
or   liriii^r    \ho   fact    before    I  be    ('ivil 


Service  of  this,  created  by  law,  in 
a  matter  of  this  kind,  a  charge  so 
serious? 

A.  I  will  simply  answer  that  by 
saying  that  I  have  not  a  great  deal 
of  confidence  in  the  present  Civil 
Service  Commission. 

Ald.  McCormick:  We  have  of- 
fered the  courtesy  to  the  Corpora- 
tion Counsel  of  asking  questions, 
but  he  sits  there  and  prompts  Aid. 
Miller.  I  don't  object  to  it,  only  I 
think  it  would  come  better  from 
him  himself  and  it  would  be  a  little 
more  direct. 

Ald.  Miller:  In  answer  to  Aid. 
McCormick,  I  will  say  that  I  have 
asked  the  Corporation  Counsel 
pointed  questions  myself,  and  also 
the  Chairman,  to  familiarize  myself 
with  the  law  as  it  is  on  the  statute 
books. 

Ald.  Gnadt:  I  think  it  would  be,- 
advisable  for  the  Corporation 
Counsel  to  give  the  questions  to  the 
Alderman,  and  then  he  propound 
them,  so  that  everybody  will  know 
it  is  an  impartial  hearing. 

Ald.  Miller  :  Then  if  you  had  no 
confidence,  as  you  state,  in  the  Civil 
Service  Commission,  the  Act  alsa 
provides  that  you  could  have  car- 
ried that  evidence  over  to  the  State's 
Attorney.  Why  didn't  you  bring  it 
before  him? 

A.  I  am  inclined  to  think  tbat  I 
brought  it  soon  enough  to  suit  a 
lot  of  people. 

Ald.     Miller:        No,     not     soon 
enough.     The  sooner  the  better. 
A.     Never  too  late,  you  know. 
Ald.  Miller:    Tardiness  is  no  ex- 
cuse under  the  law,  nor  in  the  eye? 
of  tlie  law. 

Ald.  DePriest:    Neitber  i: 
ance   of    lb(^    law.      May   T    ask   the 
gentleman  a  question? 

The  Chairman:  Put  your  (pies- 
lion.  Aid.  DePriest. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Aih^  you  willing" 
to  swear  now  before  this  commit  tee 
that  the  envelope  that  you  saw  Mrs. 
Kafoii    hand    to    Mrs.    How(^    is    the

same  envelope  and  contained  the 
same  money  that  you  saw  put  in 
there  at  the  bank? 

A.  To  the  best  of  my  knowledge 
and  belief,  yes. 

Ald.  DePrtest:    That  is  all. 

Ald.  Mccormick:  (Q.)  What  did 
you  mean  by  stating  that  you  have 
no  confidence  in  the  present  Civil 
Service  Commission? 

A.  Well,  one  of  the  reasons  is 
that  Mrs.  Eaton  would  not  have  had 
her  position  over  there  if  the  pres- 
ent Civil  Service  Commission  had 
lived  up  to  the  present  Civil  Ser- 
vice Law,  as  decided  by  the  Su- 
perior Court  of  Cook  County.  That 
is  one  of  the  reasons,  and  this  thing 
would  never  have  happened  if  Mr. 
Blackey  had  continued  as  Superin- 
tendent of  Survey  as  the  Superior 
Court  says  he  should  have  done, 
therefore  the  violation  of  law  has 
made  it  possible  for  this  to  come 
about. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Hasn't  the  Su- 
preme Court  got  to  pass  on  that 
yet? 

A.     Yes,  provided  it  is  carried  up. 

Ald.  'MgCormick:     (Q.)    Is  there 

anything  else  that  woulc^  give  you 

ithat  feeling  of  lack  of  confidence? 

I  A.  Well,  the  general  attitude  of 
the  Commission  during  the  time  I 
have  been  in  the  Council  is  such 
that  I  am  inclined  to  think  it  is 
more  of  a  political  committee  than 
a  Civil  Service  Commission. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Has  the  gentle- 
man ever  asked  any  favors  from 
from  the  Civil  Service  Commission? 

The  Witness:     He  never  has. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Never  will,  I 
hope. 

The  Witness:  Not  of  the  pres- 
ent one. 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Chairman,  the 
assertion  that  the  witness  makes  is 
pretty  broad.  I  recall  a  few  inci- 
dents that  occurred  under  a  pre- 
vious Civil  Service  Commission  that 
never  were  questioned. 


The  Witness  :  Well  I  was  not  in 
the  Council  then. 

The  Chairman:  Well,  the  Civil 
Service  Commission  is  not  on  trial 
here. 

Ald.  Miller:  And  they  brought 
men  here  from  New  York  and  had 
them  passed  first  on  the  list,  and 
after  they  qualified  they  didn't  get 
the  position.  Of  course  that  was 
all  right.  That  was  under  a  pre- 
vious Mayor,  where  there  was  no 
axe  to  grind. 

Ald.  Mccormick  :  I  would  like  to 
ask  the  witness  whether  he  has  any 
personal  animus  towards  the  Mayor? 

The  Witness  :  Not  at  all.  None 
whatever. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  didn't  ex- 
pect him  to  say  yes? 

The  Witness:  Non  whatever.  I 
have  never  had  any  reason  to  ask 
for  anything  and  never  have  been 
refused.  I  have  never  asked  any- 
thing of  the  administration  and 
never  been  refused. 

Ald.  Miller:  Isn't  it  a  fact,  Aid. 
Rodriguez,  that  you  are  a  candidate 
for  re-election? 

The  Witness  :  I  think  the  rec- 
ords will  show  that. 

Ald.  Miller:  Isn't  it  a  fact  also 
that  the  records  will  show  that  you 
have  voted  with  the  Aldermen  that 
have  been  recognized  as  Anti-Ad- 
ministration Aldermen? 

The  Witness:  I  have  voted  for 
(sic)  every  measure  in  the  Council 
that  I  thought  was  bad,  and  I  have 
voted  for  every  one  I  thought  was 
good,  and  I  will  •  defy  any  man  to 
■show  the  contrary.  The  records  will 
show  that  I  have  voted  against  Aid. 
Merriam  and  McCormick  and  Buck 
and  Stern,  and  the  records  will  show 
that  I  voted  against  you  and  a  lot 
of  others. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  Only  on  whiskey 
questions. 

The  Witness  :  On  a  lot  of  ques- 
tions. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Aren't  you 
generally  what  is  known  as  a  "wet". 


3490

in  the  broad  distinction  which  sep- 
arates the  Council? 

The  Witness  :  In  the  distinction 
that  is  accepted  hy  some  of  the 
newspapers,  I  probably  am. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Isn't  it  a  fact 
also  that  there  are  a  lot  of  Alder- 
men that  pretend  to  be  "wet"  that 
are  something  else? 

The  Witness  :  I  wouldn't  be  sur- 
prised. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  You  would  not 
be  disposed  to  vote  against  the 
Mayor  on  any  proposition  because 
he  enforced  the  law  in  closing  the 
saloons  on  Sunday? 

The  Witness  :  No,  I  don't  think 
anyone  ever  accused  me  of  that.  If 
he  would  close  the  saloons  on  Sun- 
day and  would  keep  them  closed  I 
would  be  very  much  better  pleased 
than  I  am  at  the  present  time,  when 
he  just  closes  some  of  them. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Is  the  Alderman 
now  speaking  from  hearsay  or  from 
personal  knowledge? 

The  Witness:  No,  from  actual 
knowledge. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  must  be  a 
law  violator  if  you  say  it  from  per- 
sonal knowledge.  Anbody  would  be 
that  is  going  around  in  saloons  on 
Sunday. 

The  Witness:  No,  I  have  just 
been  going  around  getting  an  eye 
full. 

The  Chairman:  Do  any  of  the 
other  members  of  the  committee  de- 
sire to  ask  any  questions?  Does  the 
Corporation  Counsel  wish  to  ask 
anything? 

Mr.  y\LEXANDER:  I  gave  my  rea- 
sons this  morning  for  not  asking  any 
questions.  In  order  that  there  may 
be  no  misunderstanding,  my  reasons 
that  T  assigned  this  morning  for  not 
asking  any  questions' were  these: 
That  T  did  not  believe,  in  view  of 
the  fact  that  there  was  an  absolute, 
bona  fido,  impartial  investigation 
now  being  carried  on  be  Tore  the  only 
l(>P!\lly  constituted  body,  so  recog- 
i,i/,Ml  undor  Iho  1nw,  and  that  neither 


the  Corporation  Counsel  nor  any  of 
the  administration  heads  nor  the 
Mayor  recognize  this  body  at  the 
present  time  as  having  any  legal 
powers  to  make  this  investigation. 
The  Chairman  :  You  don't  mean 
to  say  that  that  precludes  us  from 
making  the  investigation? 

Mr.  Alexander:  I  say,  it  is  not  a 
legally  constituted  body,  Aid.  Lynch. 
I  think  you  can  place  the  proper 
interpretation  on  it. 

The  Chairman  :  He  is  represent- 
ing the  Corporation  Counsel  of  the 
City,  and  I  am  representing  the 
committee. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  In  view  of  the 
statement  that  Corporation  Counsel 
Alexander  has  made,  then  I  should 
like  to  inquire  why  he  is  here. 

Mr.  Alexander  :  I  am  here  under 
orders.  Aid.  McCormick.  The  in- 
vestigation is  now  being  conducted 
by  the  Civil  Service  Commission,  a 
commission  that  is  authorized  un- 
der the  law  \o  investigate  these  mat- 
ters, so  decided  by  our  Supreme 
Court.  In  the  performance  of  my 
duty  I  am  under  instructions  from 
the  Corporation  Counsel  to  attend 
whatever  meetings  I  am  assigned  to. 
I  am  here  because  of  that. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Would  you 
mind  telling  us  then,  Mr.  Alexander, 
just  what  your  instructions  from  tne 
Corporation  Counsel  are,  in  your  at- 
tendance here?  What  is  the  duty 
you  are  to  perform,  as  I  understand, 
that  the  committee  has  not  asked  Mr. 
Alexander  or  any  other  representa- 
tive of  the  Corporation  Counsel  to 
attend  these  meetings,  to  give  sucn 
legal  advice?  Would  you  mind  tel- 
ling us  iust  what  your  instructions 


are? 

Mr  Alexander:  To  merely  at- 
tend the  meeting,  Aid.  McCormick, 
and  look  on. 

Ald.  INIcCormick:  Well,  we  are 
very  glad  to  have  you  as  a  specta- 
tor.

"FREDERICK    LUNDIN 

CHICAGO. 
558  N.  Leamington  Ave. 
Chicago,  February  23,  1916. 

Alderman  Thos.  J.  Lynch,  Council 
Committee  Rooms,  City  Hall,  Chi- 
cago: 

Sir — In  response  to  your  two 
communications,  I  wish  to  inform 
you  that  I  will  not  attend  the  poli- 
tical meeting,  called  by  you,  in  the 
committee  rooms,  February  24th, 
1916,  at  9:45  A.  M. 

I  realize  that,  although  the  35th 
Ward  is  strongly  Democratic,  you 
fear  that  the  resentment  of  the  men 
and  women  of,  that  ward  against 
you  on  account  of  the  sickening 
attitude  you  have  exhibited  in  the 
Council  on  public  questions  during 
the  past  year,  in  order  to  impede 
and  obstruct  the  progress  of  a  Re- 
publican administration,  is  imperil- 
ing your  chance  of  re-election. 

I  am  a  staunch  Republican  and  a 
high  protectionist;  consequently  my 
views  are  entirely  opposite  to  those 
of  the  Socialist  member.  Aid. 
Rodriguez,  who  sponsors  the  resolu- 
tion for  the  call  of  your  committee's 
political  meeting. 

Ordinarily  I  would  not  question 
the  personal  sincerity  of  a  true  ex- 
ponent of  socialistic  doctrines,  but 
as  I  find  by  the  Council  records  that 
on  October  4th,  1915,  a  message  was 
sent  to  the  Council  by  William  Hale 
Thompson,  the  Republican  Mayor, 
asking  the  Council  to  co-operate 
with  him  in  eliminating  corruption 
in  the  city  government,  together 
with  a  form  for  a  complaint  blank, 
a  copy  of  which  I  herewith  attach, 
I  am  compelled  to  do  so  in  this  in- 
stance. 

Even  though  Aid.  Rodriguez 
had   no   desire   to   co-operate   with 


3492 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


the  Mayor,  it  was  his  official  and 
moral  duty  as  a  public  official,  if 
he  knew  wrongs  were  being  com- 
mitted, to  make  the  facts  known  to 
the  Civil  Service  Commission,  the 
body  authorized  by  law  to  act  on 
same. 

Aid.  Rodriguez  was  in  the 
Council  when  the  Mayor's  message 
was  received  by  that  body  on  Octo- 
ber 4th.  In  the  Council  Proceed- 
ings on  Aid.  Rodriguez's  desk 
is  the  Mayor's  printed  message. 

I   have   no   time   to   waste   upon 
insincere   persons.     Aid.   Rodriguez 
condemns  himself.    He  states  m  the 
public  press  that  the  information  he 
bases  his  charges  upon  has  been  m 
his   possession   since   last   June   or 
July  and  his  reason  for  not  expos- 
ing    same     earlier     was     that     he 
awaited  the  opportune  time,  which 
it  is  plain  to  see,  he  selected  as  the 
last  meeting  of  the  City  Council  be- 
fore  the   Aldermanic   primaries   of 
February  29th;  or  in  other  words, 
in  his  opinion,  the  time  most  op- 
portune  to   strike   is   the  time   for 
the  greatest  political  effect,  rather 
than  the  time  for  the  greatest  civic 
good. 

If  Aid.  Rodriguez  were  honest  and 
sincere,  he  would  have  promptly 
transmitted  his  information  last 
June  when  he  obtained  it,  to  the 
proper  authority  and  demanded  ac- 
tion, rather  than  wait  for  the  op- 
portune political  time. 

The  whole  affair,  time,  place  and 
nature  of  attack— an  assault  in  the 
dark  upon  the  honor  and  reputa- 
tion of  a  woman— is  dastardly,  dis- 
creditable and  un-American  and  is 
ample  proof  of  a  cheap  and  low 
attempt  to  play  filthy,  rat-hole 
politics. 

Very  truly  yours, 

F.  LUNDIN."

The  best  results  can  only  be  ob- 
tained when  facts  are  specified; 
therefore  complaints  will  not  re- 
ceive attention  unless  duly  attested 
by  notary  certificate.  When  prop- 
erly filled  please  mail  or  return  to 
the  Mayor's  Office,  City  Hall." 

Ald.  McCormick:  Mr.  Chairman, 
I  remember  introducing  into  the 
City  Council  some  time  ago  a  copy 
of  a  mittimus  which  stated  that  one 
John  M.  Kantor,  who  is  now  a  real 
estate  expert  appointed  by  His 
Honor  the  Mayor,  had  served  two 
months  in  the  county  jail  and  had 
been  sentenced  there  iby  Judge 
Walker.  The  Mayor  had  official 
knowledge  of  it.  It  is  of  record  in 
the  proceedings  and  I  do  not  know 
why  some  action  has  not  been  taken 
on  that  particular  ease.  I  merely 
introduce  it  here  to  show  that  while 
the  complaint  blanks  are  here,  at 
the  same  time  a  member  of  the 
Oouncil  has  introduced  testimony  of 
that  kind  in  there  and  the  gentle- 
man is  still  making  political 
speeches  in  this  campaign  and  is 
still  on  the  payroll. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mr.  Chairman,  I 
want  to  say  further  that  this  same 
John  Kantor  that  the  Alderman  of 
the  Sixth  Ward  speaks  of,  had 
charges  preferred  against  him  on 
the  floor  of  this  Council,  I  think.  If 
my  memory  is  correct,  this  Council 
'authorized  this  very  committee  to 
make  an  investigation.  The  chair- 
man of  this  committee  apipointed  a 
sub-committee  to  investigate.  That 
sub-committee  ;has  had  this  matter 
six  or  seven  months  and  nothing 
has  been  done,  and  no  report  has 
ever  >been  made,  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  Mr.  Kantor  has  demanded  an 
investigation  and  demanded  a  hear- 
ing, and  this  committee  has  never 
given  it  to  him.  Let  the  committee 
keep  its  lown  skirts  clear  before  it 
attacks  anyone  else. 

The  Chairman:  They  have. 
They  have  conducted  an  investiga- 
tion. 

Ald.    DePriest:       Has    John    M. 


(  Kantor  ever  been  asked  to  come  be- 
fore the  committee? 

The  Chairman  :     No. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Then  it  is  'all 
bunk,  this  statement  that  you  say 
an  investigation  has  been  made. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Mr.  Chairman, 
there  is  no  necessity  of  the  com- 
mittee investigating  this  particular 
case.  It  is  a  fact.  All  the  Mayor 
has  to  do  is  to  secure  it  from  Judge 
Walker  or  from  Judge  Walker's 
case,  a  copy  of  the  mittimus  which 
I  presented  officially  in  the  Council, 
to  determine  who  this  man  is.  It 
does  not  require  any  proof.  He  was 
convicted  in  a  court.  He  was  sen- 
tenced and  he  served  it  out,  and  he 
is  now  a  real  estate  expert  for  the 
City  of  Chicago. 

Ald.  Blaha:  May  I  say  a  word? 
I  want  to  ask  a  question. 

The  Chairman  :  Will  you  yield 
to  a  question? 

Ald.  McCormick:     Yes. 

Ald.  Blaha:  These  two  months 
in  jail  that  Mr.  Kantor  was  sup- 
posed to  serve,  was  that  in  connec- 
tion with  his  service  while  heing  in 
the  employ  of  the  City  of  Chicago? 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  think  not,  so 
far  as  I  know. 

Ald.  Blaha:  Have  you  any 
charges  to  prefer  against  Mr. 
Kantor  since  he  has  heen  an  em- 
ploye of  the  City  of  Chicago? 

Ald.  McCormick:  No,  I  am  not 
closely  enough  in  touch  with  him  to 
prefer  any. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  Suppose  a  man  had 
been  convicted  some  years  'ago,  and 
after  that  had  been  doing  all  right, 
would  you  still  consider  him  an  un- 
desirable oitizen?  Wouldn't  you 
want  to  give  him  a  chance? 

Ald.  McCormick:  With  this 
particular  individual,  I  don't  think 
I  would. 

Ald.  Blaha:  You  are  entirely 
biased  on  this. 

Ai.d.  McCormick:  No,  I  don't 
think  I  am  biased  at  all.

Ald.  Blaha:  Well,  J  don't  be- 
lieve you  have  any  charges.  If  you 
have  any  charges  that  he  is  not  do- 
ing what  is  right  you  ought  to  pre- 
fer them. 

Ald.  McGormick:  If  he  had  not 
served  a  term  in  jail  for  a  con- 
fidence game  I  would  have  had 
much  more  confidence  in  him.  My 
point  is  simply  this,  Aid.  Blaha: 
That  the  Mayor  stated  m  all  his 
campaign  speeches  that  he  was  go- 
ing to  drive  the  crooks  out  of  Chi- 
cago, and  I  have  an  inherent  objec- 
tion to  transferring  the  crooks  to 
the  City  payroll.  That  is  my  objec- 
tion. 

Ald.  Blaha  :  We  don't  know  that 
he  is  a  crook,  so  far  >as  the  City  pay 
roll  is  concerned. 

Ald.  Miller  :  I  would  like  to  ask 
Aid.  McGormick  a  question :  At  the 
time  that  the  Alderman  introduced 
this  mittimus  in  the  Council,  it  was 
referred  to  the  Committee  on 
Schools,  Fire,  Police  and  Civil  Serv- 
ice, and  there  naturally  could  not 
have  been  any  action  until  the  case 
was  completed  by  that  committee. 
Do  I  quote  correctly? 

The  Chairman:  No  action  by 
the  committee,  but  action  could 
have  been  taken  by  somebody  else, 
who  is  the  superior  of  the  individ- 
ual employed  by  the  City. 

Ald.  Miller  :  I  asked  that  as  a 
point  of  information. 

Ald.  DePriest:  They  don't  want 
to  answer  that  question.  They 
want  to  beg.  Let  them  carry  it.  I 
am  not  chairman  of  the  committee, 
and  I  did  not  appoint  the  sub- 
committee. 

Ald.  Miller:-  Mr.  Chairman,  the 
charge  did  not  >affect  his  services 
as  a  real  estate  expert,  did  it? 

The  Chairman  :  It  all  depends 
ion  which  way  you  look  at  it.  It  is 
hard  for  me  to  determine.  T  would 
not  want  to  say. 

Ald.-  Miller:  What  I  was  goin^^ 
In  ask  was,  liow  long  had  he  s-orvod? 
I    will    ask    this    question    of    Aid. 


McCormick:  How  long  ago  was 
that  that  he  served  this  two  months 
in  jail? 

Ald.  McCormick:    That  was  sev- 
eral years  ago,  I  think. 

Ald.  Miller:  The  Civil  Service 
Law,  the  statute,  provides  that  a 
man  may  take  the  Civil  Service 
examination  and  take  a  position  m 
the  service  of  the  City  five  years 
>after  he  has  served  sentence  for  an 
oJffense  that  he  might  have  been  ac- 
cused of. 

Ald.  McCormick:  He  is  not  a 
Civil  Service  man. 

Ald.  Miller:  Well,  he  is  ap- 
pointed. 

Ald.  McCormick:     Yes. 
Ald.    Miller:      As    a    sixty-day 
appointee,  by  sanction  of  the  Civil 
Service  Commission. 
Ald.  McCormick:     No. 
Ald.  Miller:     That  is  a  point  I 
would  like  to  clear  up. 

Ald.  DePriest:    I  would  like  to 
ask  the  Alderman  one  question.  We  ^ 
have    an   Adult    Probation   Law  in 
this  state,  have  we  not? 

Ald.  McCormick:    I  think  so. 
Ald.    DePriest:     You    think   so.lH 
Well,  it  is  a  fact  that  we  have. 

Ald.  McCormick:  Yes,  Aldermanj 
I  always  bow  to  your  superior  wis- 
dom, so  if  you  say  we  have  an  Adult 
Probation  Law  I  believe  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  am  glad  youi 
appreciate  it  and  realize  it. 
Ald.  McCormiciv:  I  do. 
Ald.  DePriest:  Thank  you.  VVe 
have  an  Adult  Probation  Law  ni 
this  state,  and  under  the  law  after 
a  man  has  served  a  certain  leiigtnj 
of  time  he  is  paroled  out.  and  n 
his  behavior  is  such  as  the  law  re- 1 
quires  it  to  be  for  another  certaui. 
hMiglh  of  time  he  is  dismissed  alv 
sohilelv  from  the  charge  against 
him,  and  is  eligible  to  hold  an>  j 
Civil  Service  or  political  position 
ronliMTed  upon  him  by  appoint-, 
niont  or  (Moot ion.  His  citizenship  i>|

Ald.  McCormick:  Of  course  you 
are  more  familiar  with  those  things 
than  I  am.  I  never  came  in  contact 
with  many  such  persons. 

Ald.  DePriest:  That  may  be, 
but  if  you  keep  on  on  the  road  you 
are  going,  you  may.  Just  keep  on 
the  route  you  are  traveling  and  you 
may  be  better  acquainted  with  the 
criminal  laws  of  the  state. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  think  if  I 
stay  in  the  City  Council  long  enough 
I  will. 

Ald.  DePriest:  It  wouldn't  be 
the  first  job  you  held  that  the  Su- 
preme Court  said  you  had  no  right 
to  hold.  I  am  going  further  to  say 
that  John  Kantor,  and  I  don't  know 
anything  about  John  Kantor  only 
what  I  have  seen  in  the  City  Hall, 
but  if  John  Kantor  did  commit 
some  error  and  go  to  jail  for  two 
months  and  has  satisfied  the  law 
for  the  good  of  this  state  and  so- 
ciety, and  that  offense  did  not  bar 
him  from  his  citizenship,  he  is  en- 
titled to  hold  any  clerical  appoint- 
ment that  might  be  given  to  him  as 
long  as  his  conduct  during  that  ap- 
pointment is  respectable  and  good. 
That  you  will  concede,  won't  you? 
If  you  are  fair  you  will  concede 
that. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  will  admit 
that  if  I  was  the  Mayor  and  ap- 
pointed men,  I  would  try  to  appoint 
men  who  had  not  made  errors  of 
that  particular  kind  in  the  past,  and 
then  I  should  not  make  them  my 
personal  friends  in  going  around 
from  meeting  to  meeting  to  speak 
with  me.    That  is  all. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Then  you  have 
nobody  that  is  close  to  you  politi- 
cally that  ever  committed  an  error. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  don't  believe 
I  have. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  was  judging 
from  what  you  said,  that  you 
might. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  was  judging 
from  my  defeat  as  a  member  of  the 
County  Board,  and  I  feel  quite  safe 
in  that  assumption. 


Ald.  DePriest:  If  the  majority 
of  the  people  in  the  City  of  Chicago 
are  crooked,  I  am  willing  to  be 
crooked? 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  think  you 
will  be  classed  there  if  you  don't 
stop  defending  this  kind  of  people. 

Ald.  DePriest:  If  I  keep  on  as- 
sociating with  you  I  will  be  classed 
amongst  them,  no  doubt  about  it, 
and  while  I  don't  know  anything 
about  John  Kantor  and  care  less,  he 
is  not  identified  with  me  in  any 
way,  shape,  form  or  fashion,  but 
even  the  devil  is  entitled  to  a 
square  deal  in  here  and  we  ought  to 
give  mankind  the  same  thing. 

The  Chairman  :  They  will  get  it 
here. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  And  I  don't  want 
any  Socialist  to  do  anything  for  me, 
here. 

Ald.  Miller:  Isn't  it  a  fact  you 
are  assuming  that  this  is  the  same 
John  Kantor  that  did  serve  that 
time,  the  two  months  that  you  say 
he  did  serve?  Are  you  assuming, 
or  do  you  say  it  is  the  same  person? 

Ald.  McCormick  :  I  was  informed 
it  was  the  same  person. 

Ald.  Miller  :  Will  you  state  that 
as  a  matter  of  record,  that  he  was, 
that  it  was  him? 

Ald.  McCormick:  Well,  I  can't 
state  that. 

Ald.  Miller:    That  is  all. 

Ald.  McCormick  :  Don't  you  know 
that  he  is  the  same  man? 

Ald.  Miller:  I  do  not.  That  is 
why  I  am  asking  that  question.  Aid. 
McCormick.  I  want  to  get  enlight- 
enment. If  you  have  got  that 
knowledge  I  want  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Mr.  Chairman, 
we  have  a  witness  on  the  stand. 
Let's  get  to  him.  Let's  get  busy. 
Swear  the.  gentleman.  He  has  not 
been  sworn  yet. 

FULTON   GARDNER

REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March-  6,  1916. 


The   Chairman:      (Q.)     What   is 
your  name? 

A.     Fulton  Gardner. 
THE  Chairman:      (Q.)     Where  do 
you  reside,  Mr.  Gardner? 
A.     At  1520  East  66th  place. 
The   Chairman:      (Q.)     What   is 
your  occupation? 
A.    Electrician. 

THE  Chairman:  (Q.)  You  know 
that  this  committee  is  investigating 
charges  which  have  been  preferred 
with  the  City  by  Aid.  Rodriguez, 
Alderman  of  the  Fifteenth  Ward. 
A.  Yes,  sir,  I  read  the  papers. 
The  Chairman:  You  know  why 
you  have  been  requested  to  appear 
here. 

A.     Yes  sir. 

THE  Chairman:  Now  tell  us  in 
your  own  words  all  that  you  know 
regarding  this  matter. 

A.  On  July  12  of  last  year,  I 
think  it  was  about  10  A.  M.,  Sey- 
mour Stedman  requested  me  to  come 
to  his  office  and  said  that  he  wanted 
to  see  me,  and  when  I  went  there 
he  said  "I  would  like  to  have  you 
come  here  between  12  and  1  o'clock 
and  meet  a  lady  whom  I  want  you 
to  go  to  the  bank  with,  where  she 
will  get  some  money  and  then  I  want 
you  to  go  with  her  to  the" — nam- 
ing department  in  the  City  Hall,  in 
the  City  Hall  Square  Building,  I 
think  the  Welfare  Survey;  anyway 
Welfare  was  mixed  up  with  it. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Welfare 
Bureau? 

A.  Yes.  T  was  in  his  office  at 
the  time  appointed  and  Mrs.  Eaton 
came  in,  a  lady  whom  I  never  saw 
or  met  before,  and  I  was  introduced 
to  her,  or  rather  she  to  me,  I  don't 
know  which  is  the  way  it  happened, 
and  Mr.  Stedman  said,  "Well,  Mr. 
Gardner  will  go  with  yen."  That 
was  about  all  he  said,  and  she  said, 
"Well,  T  can't  go  down  to  the  bank 
just  now;  T  have  got  another  er- 
rand to  do",  but  she  said,  "T  will 
meet  you  at  the  bank",  and  she  told 


me  where  to  go  in  the  bank,  to  go  to 
the  ladies'  department.  I  went  down 
to  the  bank  and  to  the  room  on  the 
north  of  the  bank,  facing  a  number 
of   windows,   tellers'   windows,   and 
so  forth,   depositors'   window^s,   and 
she  was  not  there  at  the  time  and 
I  took  a  seat  in  that  room.     In  a 
short  time  she   arrived,   apologized 
for  keeping  me  waiting,    and  then 
she  asked  me  to  step  into  the  en- 
closure,   the    grill-work    enclosure 
that  is  there,  separating  what  I  un- 
derstand is   the   ladies'   department 
or  woman's  department  of  the  bank. 
I  went  in  there  and  I  took  a  seat 
with  Mrs.  Eaton  at  the  writing  table. 
We  had  no  conversation  at  the  table 
whatever  at  that  time.   She  laid  her 
grip — her   purse    or   whatever   you 
call  it— aside,   and  took  a  pen  and 
wrote  on  a  slip  of  paper.    From  my 
knowledge  of  the  banking  business , 
I    assumed    that   it   was    a    deposit 
check.    She  went  up  to  one  window, 
r  don't  know  what  window,  I  would 
not    swear   which   window   it   was, 
but  anyway  she  went  to  a  window,- 
then  we  turned  to  the  table.    I  was 
sitting  close  enough  to  touch  elbows 
with  her,  and  then  she  took  a  check 
and  wrote  a  check  and  then  went  up 
to  the  teller's  window  and  received 
1   some  money.    She  came  back  to  the 
table    and   said,    "these   look  nice", 
or  something  to  that  effect,   and  I 
took  the  bills  in  my  hands.    There 
were  four  ten  dollar  gold  certificates, 
new  and  crisp.  Then  she  took  an  en- 
velope from   the  rack,   a  blue  en- 
velope or  it  might  have  been  a  shade 
of  green — my  knowledge  of  colors 
is  rather  limited,    and   placed   that 
money  in  the  envelope,  addressed  it 
to  Mrs.  Louise  Osborne  Howe  per- 
sonallv,  and  made  an  identification 
mark  "on   the   Hap   of  the  envelope 
that  resembled  to  me  the  letter  "S". 
We     had     determined     upon     that 
identification   mark   before,    or   she 
asked  me  and  T  told  her,  T  suggested 
the  mark  and  she  said  that  was  wliat 
she  thought.    She  took  her  pen  and 
made  a  letter,  scroll  "S"  on  the  tlap 
of  that   .MU(Moi)(\     Slh^  <Mni>ti(Ml  her

liandbag  on  the  table.  Now  she  says 
'T  want  you  to  look  into  that  and  see 
that  it  is  empty."  I  looked  into  it  and 
it  was  empty.  She  put  the  envelope 
and  her  other  belongings  into  the 
satchel  or  handbag  and  she  said  to 
me  "I  will  go  out  ahead  of  you  and 
you  and  you  follow  closely  behind". 
I  walked  with  the  lady  a  few  feet  in 
the  rear  up  Dearborn  street  to  Madi- 
son and  Dearborn,  and  we  under- 
took to  cross  the  street  there  but  the 
traffic  was  so  great  that  we  de- 
termined to  go  on  down  Clark  street 
to  the  Clark  street  crossing.  We 
crossed  at  Clark  and  Madison  and 
went  up  on  the  east  side  of  €lark 
street  to  the  City  Hall  Square 
Building.  I  entered  the  building 
with  her.  We  went  on  the  ele- 
vator up  to  the  8th  floor.  When 
she  reached  the  8th  floor  we  walked 
almost  together  to  the  door,  she 
o'pened  the  door  and  went  in  and  I 
waited  for  a  second  or  two  and  fol- 
lowed her  and  I  believe  she  asked 
the  lady  at  the  telephone  whether 
Mrs.  Rowe  was  in.  The  lady  at  the 
telephone  said  no,  thai  she  was  out 
to  lunch,  but  that  she  expected  her 
at  any  moment.  Then  Mrs.  Eaton 
went  into  her  room  and  I  followed, 
or  rather  she  gave  me  a  kind  of  a 
nod  to  indicate  that  I  was  to  follow 
her.  I  did  follow  her  into  that  ad- 
joining room,  hut  not  into  her  room. 
I  took  a  peep  through.  The  door  was 
open  and  I  had  a  full  view  of  her 
sitting  at  her  table,  and  I  remained 
in  that  position  until  Mrs.  Rowe 
came  in.  I  could  see  Mrs.  Rowe  and 
another  lady  as  they  came  in,  pass- 
ing the  door  of  the  main  office,  and 
Mrs.  Rowe  and  this  lady  went  im- 
mediately into  her  private  office.  I 
nodded  to  Mrs.  Eaton,  who  had  no 
view  of  the  main  office  from  her  lo- 
cation, and  I  -passed  out  into  the 
main  reception  room  and  Mrs.  Eaton 
followed  me.  Mrs.  Eaton  tapped  at 
Mrs.  Rowe's  door.  Mrs.  Rowe  came 
to  the  door  and  opened  the  door 
and  stepped  outside,  standing 
against  the  door  jamb,  close  enough 
to  touch  it  at  least,  leaving  her  door 


slightly  ajar.  I  walked  up  within 
a  few  feet  and  Mrs.  Eaton  held  that 
envelope  so  that  I  could  see  the 
identification  mark.  She  passed  it 
then  to  Mrs.  Rowe  and  Mrs.  Rowe 
took  the  envelope  without  raising 
it  to  her  eyes  and  held  it  in  her 
hand  and  crunched  it  and  there  was 
a  word  or  two  sotto  voce  between 
them  and  Mrs.  Rowe  passed  into  her 
room  and  Mrs.  Eaton  into  her  room. 
Before  Mrs.  Rowe  stepped  into  her 
room  I  asked  her  if  I  could  see  her 
a  moment.  I  intended  to  ask  her 
for  a  printed  report  of  her  depart- 
ment, and  she  said  no,  that  she  was 
too  busy  at  that  time  to  see  me,  but 
to  make  an  engagement  with  the 
girl  at  the  telephone.  Well,  I  had 
seen  all  I  cared  to  and  I  merely 
passed  over  to  the  telephone  and 
said  "I  will  be  back  at  3  o'clock 
tomorrow",  or  something  to  that 
effect,  and  went  on  out.  I  went  over 
to  Mr.  Stedman's  office  and  reported 
what  I  had  done.  He  said  it  was  all 
right,  to  make  a  written  report  of  it. 
I  immediately  wrote  out  a  report, 
which  the  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sion just  now  abstracted  from  me, 
and  thought  no  more  of  the  matter 
whatever.  I  went  over  then  to  my 
place  of  business  at  160  North  Fifth 
avenue,  and  went  to  work  and  for- 
got all  about  the  incident  until  he 
called  me  up  about — I  think  it  was 
a  week  ago,  in  that  neighborhood — 
not  so  long,  I  guess,  and  said  "I 
want  you  to  make  an  affidavit  to  that 
matter",  and  the  affidavit  was  predi- 
cated upon  the  statement  that  I  had 
written  out,  and  which  he  had  in 
his  possession.  I  signed  the  affidavit 
and  swore  to  it,  and  that  is  all  that 
I  know  concerning  the  matter. 

The  Chairman  :  Does  anyone  de- 
sire to  ask  any  questions,  any  mem- 
ber of  the  committee? 

Ald.  Miller:  I  would  like  to  ask 
a  few  questions. 

The  Chairman:  All  right.  Aid. 
Miller: 

Ald.  Miller:  Mr.  Fulton  Gard- 
ner, I  believe.

The  Witness:  Yes. 
Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  Didn^t  you 
testify  before  the  Civil  Service 
Commission  today  under  oath,  on 
cross-examination,  that  you  could 
not  see  the  letter  as  you  stood  three 
feet  from  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.  No,  I  did  not  testify  to  that 
at  all.  I  testified  that  I  could  not 
see  the  pencil  marks  that  Attorney 
Malato  put  upon  a  piece  of  glazed 
paper,  and  held  it  at  an  angle  that 
I  could  not  see  it.  I  testified  I 
could  not  see  that.  If  there  was  a 
mark  on  that  paper  at  all,  it  was 
not  a  mark  similar  to  this.  It  was 
made  with  a  lead  pencil,  instead  of 
a  big  scrawl  of  ink,  which  was  used 
on  the  occasion  at  the  bank. 

Ald.  Miller:     (Q.)    Did  you  talk 
to  anybody  else  about  this  case  be- 
fore you  came  here? 
A.     About  the  case? 
Ald.  Miller:    Yes. 
A.     Not   until   it  was   sprung   in 
the    newspapers,    and    then    people 
asked  me  questions  regarding  it. 

Ald.  Miller:     Didn't  you  ask  a 
newspaper   man    before   you    went 
into  the  Civil  Service  room,  to  point 
out  Mrs.  Rowe  to  you? 
A.     Yes. 

Ald.  Miller:     (Q.)    You  did? 
A.     Yes,  I  did. 

Ald.   Miller:     (Q.)     You.  did  not 
know  her  then? 

A.  Well,  I  asked  first,  Aid.  Mil- 
ler. 
Ald.  Miller:  Yes. 
A.  I  asked  a  newspaper  man, 
who  was  maki-ng  a  sketch  at  that 
time,  and  I  was  standing  with  him 
at  the  window, — says  I  "Can  you 
point  out  Mrs.  Rowe  here",  because 
fliere  was  a  great  number  of  peo- 
ple in  the  room  and  I  wanted  to 
locate  her,  the  same  as  I  would  ask 
"do  you  know  if  your  brother  is 
liero?"  or  my  brother  is  here.  T 
know  the  face  very  well,  could 
identify  the  lady,  but  I  was  really 
asking  for  the  location  of  the  lady 
so   I  hat  I  could   look   at  her  again 


to  see  if  I  was  mistaken,  for  I  never 
saw  the  lady  before  and  neither  did 
I  see  her  since  until  today,  and 
then  only  for  a  moment  or  two  of 
time. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  What  was  the 
interval  of  time  from  the  time  you 
left  the  bank  until  the  time  you  had 
gotten  up  to  the  office  of  the  Pub- 
lic Welfare  Department?  What 
was  about  the  time  that  elapsed  in 
between  there? 

A.  I  know  the  exact  time  I  met 
Mrs.  Rowe  in  the  office,  because  I 
made  a  note  of  the  time,  looked  at 
the  clock.  I  met  her  at  3  o'clock. 
I  saw  Mrs.  Eaton  at  the  bank  at 
2:15. 

Ald.  Miller:  Could  you  swear 
that  there  was  no  change  in  the 
envelope? 

A.  No,  sir,  I  couldn't  swear, 
other  than  this:  I  don't  see  how 
it  was  possible  for  Mrs.  Eaton  to 
have  an  opportunity  to  write  any- 
thing in  that  time,  although  by 
some  conjuring  or  act  of  legerde- 
main or  something  of  that  kind  she 
might  have  had  a  similar  work  and 
sprung  it  on  me,  but  that  is  not  my 
opinion  by  a  long  ways.  I  don't 
think  she  did  anything  of  the  kind. 
Ald.  Miller:  (0.^  Then  you 
went  to  the  bank  with  the  express 
purpose,  and  followed  the  lady  to 
the  Public  Welfare  Department,  to 
get  the  evidence? 

A.  I  went  there  under  the  in- 
structions of  Mr.  Seymour  Stedman 
and  without  any  regard  to  what  it 
was.  or  the  result  of  it,  or  an>'thing 
about  it,  because  I  had  no  knowl- 
edge or  acquaintance  of  any  kind 
with  any  of  the  parties  involved. 

Ald.  Miller:  (Q.)  But  you 
went  there  for  the  purpose  of  get- 
ting evidence  only? 

A.     T  went  there  for  the  purpose 
of  witnessing  that  transaction. 
Ald.  Miller:     That  is  all. 
The  Chairman:     Does  any  other 
member  of  the  committee  desire  to 
ask  any  questions?

.iLD.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Mr.  Gard- 
ner, what  is  your  vocation  in  life? 

A.     Electricity,  electrician. 
'         Ald.  DePriest:      (Q.)      In  busi- 
ness for  yourself? 

A.  Yes,  sir — well,  I  am  presi- 
dent of  an  electric  company,  a 
manufacturing  company. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  How  long 
have  you  been  acquainted  with  Mr. 
Stedman? 

A.  Well,  as  near  as  I  can  guess 
from  23  to  25  years. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  A  per- 
sonal friend  of  his? 

A.  A  personal  friend  of  his,  yes, 
sir. 

Ald.  DePriest :  (Q.)  Apolitical 
friend  of  his? 

A.  Not  exactly.  I  have  been  a 
Republican  all  my  life.  I  am  Re- 
publican judge  of  the  9th  precinct 
of  the  18th  Ward  for  two  years.  I 
was  appointed  by  Alderman  Healy 
or  rather  he  recommended  me. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Are  you 
still  a  Republican. 

A.  Well,  I  am  a  Republican  to 
this  extent,  that  I  wouldn't  vote  for 
this  present  Republican  adminis- 
tration. 

Ald.  DePriest:  I  didn't  ask  you 
who  you  would  vote  for.  I  asked 
you  whether  you  were  still  a  Re- 
publican. You  are  evasive.  I 
asked  you,  are  you  still  a  Republi- 
can.   Yes  or  no  will  answer  that. 

The  Chairman:  I  thought  he 
answered  that. 

A.  That  question  is  beautifully 
indefinite. 

Ald.  DePriest:  So  is  that  an- 
swer of  yours,  Mr.  Gardner.  I 
didn't  ask  you  who  you  would  vote 
for,  or  whether  you  would  vote  for 
Billy  Hale  Thompson.  I  asked  you 
whether  you  were  still  a  Republi- 
can. 

A.  Well,  I  don't  know  whether 
I  am  a  Republican  or  not  now.  I 
will   have   to   see   the   platform   of 


the    party   before    I   make   up    my 
mind. 

Ald.  DePriest:  In  other  wofds, 
you  are  a  rain  check  Republican? 

A.     What? 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  are  a  Re- 
publican on  rain  check  only. 

A.  I  don't  know  what  you  mean 
by  rain  check. 

Ald.  DePriest:  When  it  suits 
your  convenience. 

A.  I  am  not  so  familiar  with  the 
slang  of  the  Second  Ward. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  are  a  Re- 
publican when  it  suits  your  con- 
venience only. 

A.  Well,  it  has  suited  my  con- 
venience for  about  forty  years  of 
my  life  to  be  a  Republican  and 
train  with  the  Republican  Party. 

Ald.  DePriest:  And  to  join  in 
the  frame-up  of  Republican  women 
in  the  Republican  Party? 

A.     No,  sir,  absolutely  no. 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  objiect  to 
that  question. 

Ald.  DePriest:  You  object  to  a 
lot  of  things  that  are  right  on  this 
earth.  How  far  were  you  behind 
this  lady  from  the  time  you  left  her, 
coming  from  the  bank  to  this  office? 

A.  Sometimes  I  was  ten  feet  be- 
hind her,  sometimes  two,  sometimes 
three;  there  was  a  good  deal  of 
traffic  on  the  street  at  that  time  and 
I  had  to  dodge  and  she  had  to  dodge, 
but  I  don't  think  there  was  any  op- 
portunity for  her  to  do  any  work  as 
an  amanuensis  or  anything  of  that 
kind,  as  she  was  going  along  there. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Isn't  it  a 
fact  that  between  your  trip  from 
the  First  National  Bank  corner  at 
Monroe  and  Dearborn  to  this  build- 
ing across  the  street  here,  that 
there  were  several  people  passed 
between  you  and  Mrs.  Eaton? 

A.     Oh,  yes,  yes. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Then  you 
could  not  at  all  times  see  what  she 
was  doing? 


3500 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


A.  No.  She  might  have  done 
things  that  I  could  not  see  at  that 
time,  but  I  thought  she  was  walk- 
ing. I  thought  she  was  trying  to 
dodge  the  traffic.  I  thought  she 
was  moving  along  just  the  same  as 
1  was  moving  along  and  I  en- 
deavored to  keep  as  close  to  her  as 
possible. 

Ald.  DePriest:  She  could  have 
taken  that  envelope  out  of  her 
pocketbook  and  put'  another  one  m 
there. 

A.  Yes,  certainly. 
Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Are  you 
willing  to  swear  that  the  envelope 
you  saw  Mrs.  Eaton  give  Mrs.  Rowe 
is  the  same  envelope  that  she  got 
at  the  bank? 

A.  To  the  best  of  my  knowledge 
and  belief  I  would,  yes. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  But  you 
don't  know? 

A.  I  say  to  the  best  of  my 
knowledge  and  belief. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  After  you 
got  to  the  Public  Welfare  Depart- 
ment, this  was  across  the  street 
here,  was  Mrs.  Eaton  at  all  times 
absolutely  in  your  view  and  that 
pocket-book  also? 

A.  No,  she  was  not  absolutely  in 
my  view  every  moment  of  that 
time,  because  I  preceded  her  out  of 
this  office  into  the  main  office,  and 
she  was  behind  me  at  that  time, 
and  during  the  transfer,  from  one 
office  to  the  other  I  did  not  see  what 
she  did. 

Ald.  DePriest:  (Q.)  Then  it 
could  have  been  possible,  even  after 
you  got  into  the  office  of  the  Public 
Welfare  Department,  over  here,  for 
these  envelopes  to  have  been 
changed? 

A.  Oh,  yes.  She  .could  have  done 
some  jugglery. 

Ald.  DePriest:  That  is.  all. 
Ald.  Miller:  I  just  want  to  bring 
out  the  statement  Mr.  Gardner  has 
made  there  in  his  previous  testi- 
mony when  he  stated  tliat  he  was 
not  positive  as  to  whether  the  en- 


velope was  blue  or  green,  and  that 
it  might  have  been  a  question  of 
sight. 

A.  Well,  if  any  explanation  is 
needed.  Aid.  Miller,  I  will  simply 
say  that  blue  or  green  has  always 
confused  me.  Sometimes  I  would 
say  that  blue  was  green  and  green 
was  blue,  because  I  get  confused  on 
those  colors. 

Ald.  MgCormick:  Does  Aid.  Mil- 
ler seem  blue  or  green  to  you?  as 
you  look  at  him? 

A.  I  think  he  looks  pink.  He  is 
a  fine-looking  man  just  the  same. 
Ald.  Miller:  Thank  you. 
The  Chairman  :  Are  there  any 
other  questions?  "  Do  any  other 
members  of  the  committee  desire  to 
ask  any  questions? 

Ald.  Gnadt:     You  were  not  ac- 
quainted with    Mrs.   Eaton   or   Mrs. 
Osborne     Rowe    or    any    of    these ' 
people,  were  you? 

A.  I  never  saw  Mrs.  Eaton  until 
I  saw  her  in  Mr.  Stedman's  office, 
and  then  only  for  a  moment  or  two, 
not  to  exceed  five  minutes.  I  saw 
her  afterwards  at  the  bank.  I  had 
a  good  view  of  her  back  all  the  way 
up  to  the  Welfare — (laughter). 

Ald.  Gnadt:  (Q.)  You  were  not 
personally  interested  one  way  or 
the  other,  were  you? 

A.  No,  at  that  time  I  had  no 
more  interest  in  the  matter  than  a 
bird. 

Ald.    Gnadt:       (Q.)      You    didift 
care.     You  were   not  favoring  one 
side  or  the  other,  were  you? 
A.     Not  at  all. 

Ald.  Gnadt:  You  were  trying  to 
get  at  the  facts? 

A.  I  was  doing  it  as  a  favor  to 
my  friend  Stedman. 

Ald.    Gnadt:       (Q.)      What   you 
were  trying  to  do  was  to  get  some 
facts? 
A.     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  Gnadt:  (Q.^  You  were  not 
biased  at  all? 

A.     Not  at   all.     I  lu^ver  saw  Mrs.

Rowe  before,  and  I  have  only  seen 
her  once  since,  and  that  was  in  the 
room  upstairs.  I  never  saw  Mrs. 
Eaton  more  than  three  times  and 
never  for  more  than  a  moment  or 
two  at  a  time. 

Ald.  Gnadt:  That  is  all  I  care 
to  ask. 

The  Chairman  :  Does  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  desire  to  ask  any 
questions? 

Mr.  Alexander:     No. 

Ald.  Martin  :  I  would  like  to  ask 
Mr.  Stedman  a  question  or  two. 

SEYMOUR    stedman 

being  recalled,  testified  further  as 
follows : 

Ald.  Martin:  (Q.)  Mr.  Stedman, 
when  was  the  first  time  that  you 
had  any  conversation  with  this  lady, 
Mrs.  Eaton? 


With  whom? 
(Q.)      The    lady,

Ald.   Martin  : 
mean  in  this  case. 

A.    Why,  the  latter  part  of  June. 

Ald.  Martin:  (Q.)  The  latter 
part  of  June? 

A.  Yes,  that  is  the  time  I  place 
it. 

Ald.  Martin:  (Q.)  Do  you  know 
what  time  she  was  employed  by  the 
City  of  Chicago? 

A.     I  do  not. 

Ald.  Martin  :  (Q.)  She  came  to 
you  in  June,  on  the  10th,  was  it? 

A.  For  me  to  state  that  would 
be  impossible.  It  is  very  difficult 
for  me  to  distinguish  within  30 
days  of  an  event  without  looking 
it  up  and  verifying  it  ordinarily. 

Ald.  Martin  :  (Q.)  Have  you 
been  her  attorney  ever  since? 

A.  I  have  acted  for  her  on  this 
matter.  There  may  have  been  one 
other   matter  up,   but   I   don't   re- 


member whether  it  preceded  this 
or  not. 

Ald.  Martin  :     That  is  all. 

The  Witness  :  Any  other  ques- 
tions? 

The  Chairman  :  Is  that  all.  Aid. 
Martin? 

Ald.  Martin  :     Yes. 

The  Chairman  :  Are  there  any 
other  questions  that  any  of  the 
members  of  the  committee  desire  to 
ask?  If  not,  Mr.  Stedman  will  be 
excused.  The  Secretary  will  call 
the  names  of  the  witnesses  who 
have  been  requested  to  attend,  to 
ascertain  whether  or  not  they  are 
present. 

Secretary  Harrah  :  William 
Hale  Thompson,  Mrs.  Louise  Os- 
borne Rowe,  Mrs.  William  Hale 
Thompson,  Mrs.  Margaret  E.  Miv- 
elaz,  Fred  Lundin. 

(There  was  no  response  to  any  of 
the  names  called.) 

The  Chairman  :  Those  are  all 
the  witnesses,  members  of  the  com- 
mittee,  that  have  appeared.  Now 
what  is  the  pleasure  of  the  com- 
mittee? 

Ald.  McCormick:  I  would  like 
the  record  to  show  that  the  wit- 
nesses' names  were  called  twice  at 
this  meeting,  and  that  the  clerk  of 
the  committee  has  sent  a  notice  to 
them  to  appear  and  that  they  have 
failed  to  respond. 

The  Chairman  :  Are  there  any 
objections  to  that? 

Ald.  DePriest:  None  whatever. 
What  is  the  business  before  the 
committee  now? 

The  Chairman  :  What  is  the 
pleasure  of  the  committee  on  the 
matter? 

Ald.  DePriest:  Now,  Mr.  Chair- 
man, I  move  you  that  this  commit- 
tee recommend  to  the  City  Council 
that  they  request  the  State's  Attor- 
ney to  submit  the  evidence  that  has 
been  submitted  to  this  committee, 
to  the  grand  jury  for  a  thorough 
investigation,  and  indictments  if  the 


3502 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES.

evidence  so  warrants, — that  we  rec- 
ommend that  to  the  Council. 

Ald.  Blaha:  I  will  second  that 
motion. 

Ald.  Kennedy  :  I  will  move  as  a 
substitute  that  a  sub-committee  of 
three  be  appointed  to  go  over  the 
evidence  carefully  and  prepare  a 
report  to  be  presented  at  a  meet- 
ing of  this  committee  to  be  held  not 
later  than  Wednesday. 

Ald.  McCormick:  In  time  to 
submit  to  the  Council  Wednesday 
night. 

Ald.  Kennedy:    Yes. 

Ald.  Miller:  Is  that  an  amend- 
ment or  a  substitute? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  It  is  a  substitute 
for  the  motion,  that  a  sub-commit- 
tee be  appointed  to  go  over  the 
evidence  and  to  draw  up  a  report 
to  be  presented  to  our  committee 
as  a  whole,  I  will  say  at  11  o'clock 
Wednesday  morning,  in  order  that 
they  may  go  over  the  matter  care- 
fully and  act  as  to  them  seems  wise. 

Ald.  Blaha:  With  or  without  a 
recommendation  ? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  It  will  be  up  to 
the  committee  to  decide  whether 
they  want  to  make  any  recommen- 
dation or  not. 

Ald.  Miller:  I  want  to  know  if 
Aid.  Kennedy  will  stand  for  an 
amendment,  allowing  for  all  that 
his  motion  provides  for,  and  that 
is  an  amendment  to  the  regular 
motion  so  that  it  will  go  to  the 
Grand  Jury  and  then  the  adminis- 
tration Aldermen  won't  be  stalling 
but  the  entire  administration  Ald- 
ermen will  be  stalling  if  they  don't 
go  ahead  with  this  prosecution. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  I  should  say  that 
the  proper  time  to  make  that 
amendment  would  be  at  the  com- 
mittee meeting,  and  we  should  not 
anticipate  the  report. 

Ald.  DePriest:  The  subject 
matter  before  this  committee  is 
now  very  fresh  in  the  minds  of 
every  Alderman  on  this  committee. 
Each    and    every   Alderman   knows 


now  what  he  thinks  the  evidence 
justifies  and  whether  it  justifies  a 
grand  jury  investigation  or  not,  and 
it  is  not  necessary  for  the  evidence 
to  be  compiled  by  a  sub-committee. 
What  we  want  is  action,  and  that 
is  what  you  have  claimed  all  along 
that  you  wanted.  When  I  say 
"you"  I  mean  the  gentleman  that 
offered  the  substitute. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Of  eourse  we 
want  action,  and  probably  we  will 
get  all  we  want  before  we  get 
through. 

Ald.  DePriest:  That's  right. 
The  more  the  better. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  But  in  order  to 
get  effective  action  sometimes  it  is 
necessary  to  consider  matters  more 
than  two  minutes.  That  is  the  rea- 
son we  want  this  committee  to  care- 
fully consider  this  'evidence  and  to 
suggest  just  such  action  to  our 
committee  as  will  get  results,  and  I 
believe  we  ought  to  give  the  sub- 
committee time  to  go  over  the 
evidence  and  consider  it  carefully 
and  find  out  what  can  be  done  and 
what  cannot  be  done. 

Ald.  DePriest  :  If  the  gentleman 
will  make  that  amendment,  I  will 
be  glad  to  accept  it. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  What  is  the  mo- 
tion as  it  is  now? 

The  Chairman  :  The  Clerk  will 
read  the  motion. 

Secretary  Harrah:  That  this 
committee  recommend  to  the  State's 
Attorney  that  we  request  the  State's 
Attorney  to  submit  the  evidence 
submitted  to  this  committee  to  the 
grand  jury  for  a  thorough  investi- 
gation and  'for  indictments  if  the 
evidence  so  warrants. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  To  illustrate 
why  I  might  not  be  willing  to  ac- 
cept that,  some  time  ago  a  joint 
committee  of  the  Finance  Com- 
mittee and  the  Judiciary  Gommitteo 
recommended  to  the  State's  Attor- 
ney that  Mr.  Nye  be  prosecuted  for 
violating  the  Civil  Service  Act.  The 
State's  Attorney  reported  at  the  last 


March  6,  19 IG. 


REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES. 


3503 


meeting  of  the  City  Council  that  he 
did  not  consider  the  evidence  of 
sufficient  importance  to  warrant 
prosecution.  Now  we  may  decide 
that  this  case  should  he  presented 
to  a  special  state's  attorney  instead 
of  State's  Attorney  Hoyne,  and  we 
may  recommend  that.  We  may 
recommend  other  things.  We  are 
going  to  get  action  if  action  is  to 
be  had. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Are  you  afraid 
of  Hoyne? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  We  ought  to 
consider  this  matter  carefully  ajid 
I  don't  think  we  ought  to  act 
hastily  on  it.  If  at  the  time  the  re- 
port of  the  committee  is  submitted, 
it  is  not  satisfactory,  then  amend- 
ments will  be  in  order. 

Ald.  Miller:  This  evidence  hap- 
pens to  be  evidence  or  testimony 
that  was  under  oath.  There  is  no 
chance  of  any  technical  points  be- 
ing raised  h-ere,  and  if  the  gentle- 
man from  the  Twenty- seventh 
Ward  is  sincere,  let  him  go  ahead 
and  stand  for  that  amendment,  and 
go  ahead  and  do  business.  Now 
don't  be  jockeying.  Let's  get  down 
to  business. 

Ald.  Blaha:  I  feel  this  way 
about  the  matter :  There  is  no  rea-. 
son  in  the  world  why  we  should 
shirk  our  responsibility.  We  have 
heard  this  evidence  and  it  is  the 
first  time  since  I  have  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Council  that  we  have  had 
the  witnesses  sworn.  Now  if  these 
charges  are  true  let  us  go  ahead 
with  them.  I  don't  think  that  this 
committee  should  take  the  respon- 
sibihty.  I  think  Aid.  DePriest's 
motion  should  be  carried.  I  think 
we  ought  to  quit  stalling  and  turn 
it  over  where  it  belongs  .and  let 
them  act  on  it.  If  he  doesn't  do  it 
lot  us  take  it  up  again,  hut  there  is 
no  use  condemning  Hoyne  or  any- 
body else.  It  is  about  time  we 
stopped  yelling  "stop  thief"  and  got 
down  to  'business. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  The  three  gen- 
tlemen who  are  suggesting  that  we 


quit  stalling  are  the  three  who  tried 
to  prevent  this  hearing  from  taking 
place. 

Ald.  Miller:  The  Alderman 
does  not  quote  correctly  when  he 
says  that.  He  is  making  la  mis- 
statement. 

Ald,  Kennedy-:  I  cannot  say  at 
this  moment  when  the  grand  jury 
meets.  It  may  be  three,  it  may  he 
four,  it  may  be  five  weeks  from 
now.  There  are  several  things  we 
want  to  go  into  and  consider.  It  is 
not  necessary  to  take  action  on  five 
minutes'  notice  here.  This  is  some- 
thing that  is  important  enough  for 
a  little  consideration.  When  that 
evidence  has  been  presented  a  sub- 
committee should  go  lOver  it  care- 
fully and  consider  what  should  be 
done  carefully,  and  report  to  the 
committee  as  a  whole  and  give  the 
reasons  why  they  believe  that 
should  be  done.  Why  all  this  great 
haste  after  an  eff'Ort  to  prevent  the 
hearing  being  held  at  all?  It  seems 
to  me  we  ought  to  do  the  thing 
right,  now  that  we  have  gotten  so 
far. 

Ald.  McGormick:  ,I  should  pre- 
fer to  have  had  the  procedure  sug- 
gested by  Aid.  Kennedy.  It  may  be 
that  in  the  adroit  way  in  which  it 
has  been  presented  it  would  be  a 
misunderstanding,  ibut  so  that  we 
may  get  it  on  record,  I  should  like 
to  make  this  motion :  That  because 
of  the  failure  of  William  Hale 
Thompson,  Mrs.  William  Hale 
Thompson,  Mrs.  Mivelaz  and  Mrs. 
Louise  Osborne  Rowe  to  appear  be- 
fore this  committee,  regularly  ap-i 
pointed  by  the  City  Council  to  in- 
vestigate the  charges  of  Mrs.  Eaton, 
and  in  view  of  the  testimony  which 
Mrs.  Eaton  has  given  to  this  com- 
mittee under  oath,  that  this  com- 
mittee finds  that  Mrs.  Rowe  is  guilty 
as  charged,  and  that  we  therefore 
recommend  that  this  evidence  be 
submitted  to  the  State's  Attorney 
for  criminal  prosecution.  Now  go 
on  with  your  stalling.

March  6,  1916. 


Ald.  Miller:  Aid.  McCormick  is 
preceding  himself.  Aid.  McCormick 
winds  up  with  "now  go  ion  with  your 
stalling".  He  wants  to  go  ahead  and 
accuse  and  find  a  woman  guilty 
without  due  process  of  law.  He  tells 
us  "go  ahead  and  find  her  guilty". 

Ald.  McCormick:  That  is  your 
evidence  here. 

Ald.  Miller  :  Now  you  go  ahead 
and  accuse  us  of  blocking  this  in- 
vestigation. We  asked  you  to  put 
them  under  oath  and  you  did  it. 
We  went  ahead  peacefully,  but  now 
we  ask  you  to  quit  your  stalling 
and  get  through  with  it  and  take  it 
over  to  the  grand  jury  or  to  the 
State's  Attorney  where  it  belongs, 
and  make  good  your  charges. 

Ald.   Martin  :     We  were  accused 
this  morning  of  trying  to  stall  and 
to  have  this  thing  put  over.   We  are 
doing  nothing  of  the  kind.    We  ask 
to  have  these  charges  presented  to 
the  grand  jury  or  to  the  State's  At- 
torney, which  we  now  demand.    We 
have   got    every   word   of   evidence 
written  down  here,  every  bit  of  evi- 
dence   is    before     this     committee. 
There    isn't   any    reason    why    this 
committee    should    have    any    sub- 
committee.  If  you  are  on  the  square, 
Brother  Kennedy,  you  would  not  ob- 
ject to  that,  but  you  want  to  stall 
until   this   primary   is   over.      This 
whole  evidence,  this  whole  scheme 
was    hatched    on    purpose    to    ruin 
somebody  in  the  next  primary,  and 
for   that   purpose   only,    and    there 
isn't  an  intelligent  man  on  earth  that 
listens  to  this  bunk   evidence  that 
won't  admit  that,  and  when  you  get 
into  court  we  will  see  if  you  have 
got  any  real  evidence  and  facts  or 
not.     Now  we  are  ready  to  vote  to 
send    this   to   the   grand  jury  now. 
Don't  stall  until  next  week  or  next 
month  or  next  year,  but  right  now 
T  am  ready  to  vote  to  send  this  evi- 
dence to  the  grand  jury  and  T  will 
ask  my  colleagues  on  this  commit- 
tee   to   stand    np    and    demand    that 
this  go  now  to  the  State's  Attorney 
and  to  the  grand  jury,  and  have  a 


thorough  investigation  and  see  who 
is  stalling  and  who  is  not  stalling, 
and  I  demand  a  roll  call  on  this 
proposition. 

Ald.   Kennedy:     Alderman   Mar- 
tin has  been  in  the  City  Council  long 
enough  to  know  who   is  doing  the  ^ 
stalling. 

Ald.  Martin  :     Yes,  as  long  as  you 
have   been,  and   you   can't   tell   me 
anything,  and  longer  than  you  will 
ever   stay  here   too.      I  have   seen 
many  a  bunch  of  reformers  like  you 
come  in  and  go  out.   Go  on  now  with  i 
your  bunk,  but  don't  get  too  sar- 
castic, because  I  ain't  here  to  let  a 
fellow  eat  me  up.    Just  come  along,  i 
I  sat  quietly  here  and  listened  to  - 
this  evidence. 

Ald.  Kennedy  :  I  have  been  here 
long  enough  to  know  that  this  com- 
mittee cannot  recommend  that  any 
action  be  taken  by  the  grand  jury 
until  it  has  been  submitted  to  the  i 
City  Council.  Now  the  City  Council 
does  not  meet  until  next  Wednesday 
night.  Regardless  of  anything  we 
do,  no  action  can  be  taken  until  the 
City  Council  meets  again. 

Ald.  Martin:  But  the  effect  of 
this  action  is  what  you  are  trying 
to  avoid. 

Ald.  Kennedy:     All  of  this  talk 
of  yours  is  merely  talk.     It  doesn't 
mean  any  action  anyhow.  You  know 
that  nothing  can  be  done  before  the 
primaries.    You  know  that  this  re- 
port has  to  go  to  the  City  Council 
next  Wednesday,  after  the  primar- 
ies. This  committee  cannot  take  any 
action  before   then,    or   advise    the 
grand  jury  or  take  any  action  at  all. 
All  we  can  do  is  to  submit  certain 
recommendations  to  the  next  meet-  ' 
ing  of  the  City  Council.    Now  my    , 
motion  calls  for  a  sub-committee  to 
report  next  Wednesday  morning  to  | 
this  committee  as  a  whole.     Then  I 
you  can  introduce  anything  you  want  | 
"to.  and  it  can  be  brought  into  the 
City  Council  Wednesday  night,  and 
nothing    can    be    done    before    that 
anyhow  and  you  know  it.   T  am  ask-  I 
ing  that  the  action  we  take  be  caro-

fully  thought  out  and  carefully  con- 
sidered, that  is  all. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Are  you  throw- 
ing' eyes  in  the  dust  of  the  public — • 
dust  in  the  eyes  of  the  public,  1 
mean?  Is  that  your  game,  Aid. 
Kennedy? 

Ahb.  Martin  :  This  lady  was  put 
to  work  for  the  City  on  May  2nd, 
she  says  under  oath.  She  says  she 
paid  part  of  her  salary  on  June 
10th  and  July  10th  and  August  10th, 
and  for  nine  straight  months.  Now 
don't  you  think  that  she  and  her  co- 
partners were  stalling  a  long  time 
before  they  asked  for  justice?  We 
are  here  today  asking  for  a  thorough 
investigation,  not  a  w^hitewash.  It 
took  you  fellows  nine  months  to  get 
this  bunk  before  this  committee. 
You  sprung  it  just  a  week  or  four 
or  five  days  before  the  primary,  and 
you  have  it  here  now  and  you  want 
to  stall  until  the  primary  is  over, 
and  to  give  out  tbrough  your  press 
that  everybody  in  the  administra- 
tion is  thieves,  highwaymen  and 
!  crooks  and  this  lawyer  says  every- 
'  body  on  earth  is  a  crook,  this  man 
;  that  was  so  honest,  and  that  is  now 
seeking  justice. 
Ald.  Kennedy  :     He  excepted  you. 

Ald.    Martin  :     I    have    got    the 
door.     You  now  come  in  with  your 
;  comedy  and  your  little  show  and  you 
I  spring     it.      There     isn't     evidence 
I  enough  in  this  thing  I  d'on't  think 
I  to  convict  a  rat,  and  still  you  want 
j  the  newspapers  of  this  city  to  write 
great  headlines   of  fraud  and   cor- 
ruption,   but    you    don't   want    the 
proposition  presented  to  the  proper 
authorities  where   they  can   decide 
whether'there  really  is  any  corrup- 
tion or  not.     Now  you  say  we  are 
trying  to  stall.    I  say  I  am  ready  to 
vote  right  now  to  send  this  evidence 
tonight  to  the  State's  Attorney  and 
let  him  be   the  judge   whether   he 
shall  present  it  to  the  grand  jury, 
and  if  there  is  any  evidence  I  be- 
lieve it  ought  to  be  presented  to  that 
body.    It  is  the  only  body  it  can  go 
to.     What  you  propose  to  do  is  to 


stall  until  next  week  or  the  week 
after,  and  two  or  three  weeks  froin 
now  you  will  come  around  and  say 
"well,  there  isn't  much  to  this  case 
anyhow.  We  will  drop  it."  That  is 
what  you  are  trying  to  do.  Now  we 
don't  want  to  drop  it.  We  want  to 
proceed  as  we  are  called  here  to 
proceed.  I  wanted  this  morning  to 
present  this  evidence  to  the  grand 
jury  and  not  have  this  play  here  all 
day,  four  flushing,  taking  pictures, 
listening  to  bunk,  all  kinds  of  rotten 
bunk  and  cheap  evidence;  stool 
pigeons  were  hired  to  follow  this 
woman  and  to  try  to  put  up  a  job 
on  somebody,  and  anybody  that  can't 
see  through  this  case  hasn't  got 
much  brains,  and  you  now  want  to 
play  your  part  in  the  game  by  stall- 
ing another  week.  That  is  all  there 
is  to  the  game.  You  are  playing  it 
well.  You  are  doing  splendid,  but 
Mr.  Chairman  I  believe  we  are  en- 
titled to  a  fair  roll  call  here,  and 
that  is  all  we  want,  an,d  if  we  are 
defeated  I  will  take  my  medicine 
like  a  man. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  I  want  to  reply 
to  this  question  of  Aid.  Martin.  He 
states  that  he  wants  action. 

Ald.  Martin  :  I  am  ready  to  vote 
for  the  amendment. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  You  mean  you 
are  ready  to  vote  to  send  the  matter 
to  the  grand  jury. 

Ald.  Martin  :     Yes,  sir. 

Ald.  Kennedy  :  Will  you  not  ad- 
mit though  that  this  report  must  be 
submitted  to  the  City  Council  before 
it  can  be  submitted  to  the  grand 
jury?    Will  you  not  admit  that? 

Ald.  Martin:  Yes,  but  he  can 
have  a  copy  of  it  tonight. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  We  have  no  au- 
thority as  a  committee  to  ask  the 
grand  jury  to  act  in  this  matter  un- 
til we  have  submitted  our  report  to 
the  City  Council  and  the  City  Coun- 
cil has  ratified  it. 

Ald.  Martin  :  You  know,  though, 
that  the  State's  Attorney  has  au- 
thority to  act  at  all  times. 


3506 


REPORTS    OP    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


Ald.  Kennedy:  But  this  com- 
mittee has  no  power  to  ask  him  to 
do  anything,  or  to  refrain  from  do- 
ing anything  until  the  report  is 
submitted  to  the  City  Council.  You 
know  that. 

Ald.  Martin  :  Oh,  yes,  the  State's 
Attorney  can  do  it. 

Ald.  Kennedy  :  Now  all  this  talk 
that  we  are  going  to  delay  action 
until  we  can  have  a  sub-committee 
prepare  a  report  there  is  nothing 
to  it.  That  report  will  be  in  next 
Wednesday  at  2  o'clock,  and  you 
can  be  there  at  the  meeting  of  that 
committee  to  accept  or  reject  its 
report,  or  to  put  the  proposition  we 
have  had  here  now.  I  will  be  ready 
to  vote  next  Wednesday  morning. 

Ald.  Martin:  Isn't  the  primary 
on  Tuesday? 

Ald.  Kennedy:  You  know  the 
action  we  take  is  not  binding  on  the 
City  Council  anyway. 

Ald.  Martin  :  You  didn't  present 
this  evidence  at  all  until  we  got  up 
to  the  very  week  before  the  pri- 
mary. It  has  been  a  very  nicely 
played  game,  and  you  haven't  pre- 
sented any  real  evidence  now. 

Ald.  Kennedy:     I  want  to  make 
this   clear:      That  Aid.   Martin  has 
not  suggested  any  procedure  which 
will   make   for   greater   speed   than 
the  method  I  have  suggested.    The 
difference  is  this :     My  method  calls 
for  careful  consideration.    His  calls 
for  immediate  action  today  without 
any  consideration,  that  is  all.     The 
action  will  not  be  taken  any  sooner 
in  either  event.    The  question  is  do 
you  want  your  report  to  be  a  care- 
fully considered  report  or  one  that 
is  not?     We  may  want  to  suggest 
something  besides  Grand  Jury   ac- 
tion, and  in  addition  to  Grand  Jury 
action  we  may  have  other  matters 
to  bring  into  this  report.     I  cannot 
see  why  any  member  of  this  com- 
mittee   that    wants    action    should 
stand    against    this    sub-comniittoe 
pi'«\senting   a    report   next   Wednes- 
day morning.     You  will  get  all  ibe 
action  you  want  then. 


Ald.  Blaha:  I  notice  that  this 
resolution  here  says  at  the  finish: 
"And  to  report  on  their  findings  to 
the  City  Council  at  the  earliest  pos- 
sible date,  with  such  recommenda- 
tions as  they  may  deem  proper." 
In  view  of  that  fact,  I  believe  Aid. 
DePriest  had  better  amend  his  mo- 
tion and  leave  it  go  as  a  committee 
report  to  the  City  Council,  recom- 
mending that  action. 

Ald.  DePriest:  For  the  benefit 
of  the  gentlemen  I  will  ask  the 
clerk  to  read  that  over. 

Ald.  Blaha:  This  is  the  order, 
and  we  have  got  to  follow  this  or- 
der. I  believe  you  should  make 
your  motion  to  cover  this  resolu- 
tion, and  have  this  committee  re- 
port this  action. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Let  the  clerk 
read  it. 

Secretary  Harrah  :  "Now,  there- 
fore be  it  ordered  that  the  Com- 
mittee on  Schools,  Fire,  Police  and 
Civil  Service  be  and  the  same  is' 
hereby  instructed  and  directed  to 
immediately  make  an  investigation 
to  ascertain  the  total  amount  paid 
by  said  Mrs.  Eaton  and  the  purpose 
for  which  said  contribution  was  de- 
manded, and  also  to  ascertain 
whether  or  not  there  are  other  per- 
sons in  said  department  who  are  re- 
quired to  contribute  as  a  condition 
for  a  continuation  of  their  employ- 
ment, and  to  report  on  their  find- 
ings to  the  City  Council,  at  the 
earliest  possible  date  with  such 
recommendations  as  they  may  deem 
proper." 

Ald.  Blaha:  I  believe  your  or- 
der is  to  present  this  report  to  the 
meeting  of  the  City  Council  and 
that  a  motion  to  that  effect  should 
carry.  I  don't  believe  we  need  any 
sub-committee  in  this  case.  The 
evidence  is  typewritten  and  we  can 
take  it  up  direct.  I  do  not  know 
as  I  care  to  be  bound  by  a  sub- 
committee. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  You  don't  have 
to  be  bound. 

Ald.  DePriest:     For  the  benefit

of  the  Alderman,  I  would  like  to 
hear  the  original  motion  read.  I 
will  be  glad  to  accept  any  amend- 
ments. 

The  Chairman  :  The  clerk  will 
read  the  motion. 

Secretary  Harrah  :  Aid.  De- 
Priest's  motion  is  that  this  commit- 
tee recommend  to  the  City  Council 
that  it  request  the  State's  Attorney 
to  submit  the  evidence  submitted 
to  this  committee  to  the  Grand  Jury 
for  careful  investigation  and  for  in- 
dictment if  the  evidence  so  war- 
rants. 

The  Chairman:     We  have  been 
jOrdered   to  make   an   investigation. 
iThe  investigation  was  to  ascertain 
ithe  total  amount  paid  by  Mrs.  Eaton 
land  the  purpose  for  which  such  oon- 
jtribution  was  demanded.     Now  the 
Question    is    whether    any    amount 
iwas  paid  by  Mrs.  Eaton.    If  it  was, 
,iwe  find  one  way.     If  not,  we  find 
ianother.      The    next   thing    is,    the 
purpose   for   which   said   contribu- 
tion was  demanded.    There  must  be 
la  report  on  that  in  your  report  to 
the  City  Council.     The  next  thing 
is  "to  ascertain  whether  or  not  any 
>ther  persons    in    said   department 
vvere   required    to   contribute   as   a 
Jondition  of  their  further  employ- 
.nent,  and  to  report  our  findings  to 
:he  City  Council  at  the  earliest  pos- 
Jible  date  with  such  recommenda- 
tions   as    we    may    deem    proper." 
Then  you  can  put  in  your  report 
vhether   any   money   was   paid   by 
fe.  Eaton,  and  for  what  purpose, 
ind    whether    any    other    persons 
vere   required   to   contribute   as   a 
i condition  of  their  further  employ- 
nent,  and  then  make  your  recom- 
nendations. 

Ald.  Miller:  Why  can't  we  go 
-head  and  have  Aid.  Kennedy  stand 
or  amending  Aid.  DePriest's  mo- 
ion,  taking  in  the  motion  that  Aid. 
Kennedy  has  made  and  the  motion 
hat  Aid.  DePriest  has  made,  and 
hat  the  entire  subject  matter  with 
he  evidence  go  to  the  City  Council, 
nd  that  the  City  Council  be  ordered 


L 


'  to  send  the  evidence  and  everything 
over  to  the  State's  Attorney  and  the 
Grand  Jury.  We  will  compromise 
and  bring  you  down  to  that  point 
of  the  City  Council. 

Ald.  McCormick:  And  we  will 
make  a  finding  as  to  whether  any 
money  has  been  paid  by  Mrs.  Eaton. 

Ald.  Miller:  We  are  ready  to 
vote. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Doesn't  the  evi- 
dence that  is  before  this  committee, 
when  it  is  submitted  to  the  grand 
jury,  show  whether  there  was  any 
money  paid  or  not,  or  claimed  to  be 
paid? 

The  Chairman:  We  are  sup- 
posed to  investigate  that  question 
and  report. 

Ald.  DePriest:  We  have  inves- 
tigated and  we  are  ready  to  vote. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  Mr.  Cbairman, 
this  discussion  has  proven  one 
thing  very  conclusively,  and  that  is 
that  some  isort  of  report  must  be 
presented  to  the  City  Council  next 
Monday  evening.  That  is  very 
evident.  The  resolution  calls  for  it. 
I  have  asked  for  a  sub-committee 
to  ^prepare  that  report,  and  bave  the 
report  passed  up  to  the  committee 
of  the  whole  to  approve  or  reject 
as  they  see  fit,  and  then  that  the 
report  be  submitted  to  the  City 
Council.  What  possil)le  objection 
C'an  there  be  to  that  action?  That 
is  what  the  resolution  calls  for? 

Ald.  DePriest:  This  committee 
can  report  as  it  sees  fit.  It  doesn't 
have  to  follow  anything.  The  ma- 
jority of  this  committee  is  going  to 
report  as  it  sees  fit. 

The  Chairman:  The  committee 
has  been  ordered  to  do  a  certain 
thing. 

Ald.  DePriest:  Do  you  want  us 
to  stand  up  here  and  say  Mrs.  Rowe 
is  guilty  of  accepting  money?  We 
are  not  going  to  do  it. 

The  Chairman  :  If  you  are  going 
to  report  your  findings  and  recom- 
mendations, what  are  you  going  to 
do?

REPORTS    OP    COMMITTEES. 


March  6,  1916. 


Ald.  DePriest  :     We  are  going  to 
report  to  the  State's  Attorney  that 
he   investigate   it.     He  is   the   only 
proper  person  to  make  this  investi- 
gation, because  they  have  the  power 
to   subpoena  witnesses   and  if  they 
don't  come  in,  to  put  them  in  jail; 
they  have  the  power  to  put  them 
under  oath  and  make  them  tell  the 
truth,  and  if  the  evidence  warrants 
and  justifies  it,  'allow  the  grand  jury 
to  indict.     The  gentleman  spoke  a 
while  ago  and   said  that  he  might 
want   a   special    grand   jury   and   a 
special     state's     attorney.      Special 
grand  juries  and  special  state's  at- 
torneys   are    only    appointed    when 
great  emergencies  exist  in  the  com- 
munity. 

Ald.    Kennedy:      An    emergency 
does  exist. 

Ald.   DePriest:      All   right,    let's 
see:     You  have  got  to  convince   a 
judge  on  the  bench  that  an  emer- 
gency exists,  and  you  haven't  seen 
many    special    state's    attorneys    or 
many  special  grand  juries  in  your 
day  in  Chicago.     I  only  remember 
two,   and  I  have  been  here  for  27 
years.     The  City  Council  has  never 
been  bothered  with  m  many  bunk 
shooters  in  its  life  as  it  is  at  the 
present  time.  The  gentleman  speaks 
of  the  fact  that  the  next  grand  jury 
may    not    meet   for    two    or    three 
weeks.     If  there  is  any  real  emer- 
gency    existing,    while     the     grand 
jury    may    not    necessarily    thrash 
this  out  tomorrow,  it  will  not  be  a 
hard  job   for  him  to   convince  the 
State's  Attorney  and  to  ask  him  to 
ask  for  a  special  State's  Attorney  to 
be  appointed. 

Ald.  Kennedy:  This  committee 
has  no  power  to  make  such  a  re- 
quest. 

Ald.  DePriest:  But  if  the 
evidence  that  has  been  written  up 
in  the  papers  warrants  the  State's 
Attorney  of  this  county  to  act,  he 
will  act. 

Ald.  Kennedy:      He  ouglit  to  do 
that  regardless  of  what  we  <lo. 
Ald.   DkPhiest:      Altliough   lie    is 


a  Democrat  he  is  one  of  the  best 
State's  Attorneys  that  €ook  County  ^ 
has  ever  had,  and  you  know  it,  and  \ 
if  you  will  quit  your  bunk  shooting  j 
and  cut  it  out  for  a  while  the  City  ' 
of  Chicago  will  get  an  administra- 
tion that  they  are  entitled  to  have. 
Let  us  convict  the  guilty,  whoever 
they   may   be,   but   I   for   one   will 
never    stand   for   making   a    report 
saying  that  Mrs.  Rowe  or  any  other 
woman  is  guilty  of  receiving  graft 
until    I    have    better    evidence    to 
listen   to    than   I   have    listened   to 
before  this  committee  today. 

Ald.  Miller:     I  will  again  have 
to  repeat  my  charge  that  the  anti- 
administration  Aldermen   are   stall- 
ing.     I    base    it    upon    this    fact, 
brought  out  by  Aid.  Kennedy  him- 
self:     He    said    there    may    be    a 
special  State's  Attorney.  You  haven't 
got  a  possible  chance  in  any  county 
in    the   entire    United    States    of  a 
special  State's  Attorney  unless  you 
can   go  before   a   judge   and  prove 
that  your  present  State's  Attorney 
is  unfair,   and   he   knows   it.     Now 
come  on.     Quit  your  stalling.     Get 
down    to    business    and    let    us   go 
ahead   and  recommend   this   to  the 
City    Council    with    the    additional 
suggestion  that  the  Council  recom- 
mend it  to  the  grand  jury. 

Ald.  DePriest  :     What  is  the  mo- 
tion? ^  •    ijm 

Secretary  Harrah  :  Aid.  DePnest* 
moves  that  this  committee  recom 
mend  to  the  City  Council  that  they

committee  to  the  grand  jury  for  a 
thorough  investigation  and  for  m 
dictment  if  the  evidence  so  war 
rants.  , 

Aid.  Kennedy  moved  as  a  suD- 
stitute  for  that  motion  that  a  sub- 
committee of  three  be  appointed  i< 
go  over  the  evidence  carefully  and 
prepare  a  report  to  be  siibniitlod  t(

tion  we  have  taken  now,  I  believe 
this  is  an  unfair  thing  to  do.  This

Possible  Additional  Revenues  for 
1916. 

His  Honor  the  Mayor,  submitted 
the  following  communication,  which 
was,  together  with  the  communica- 
tion transmitted  therewith,  ordered 
placed  on  file : 

Office  of  the  Mayor,] 
Chicago,  March  10,  1916.] 
To  the  Honorable  the  City  Council 

of  the  City  of  Chicago: 

Gentlemen — ^A  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  Annual  Appropriation 
Bill  adopted  for  the  year  1916, 
which  I  have  duly  signed  and  ap- 
proved, discloses  the  fact  that  cer- 
tain items  have  been  omitted  there- 
from which  may  be  requisite  for 
the  proper  conduct  of  the  business 
of  the  city. 


I  enclose  herewith  a  communica- 
tion from  the  City  Comptroller,  ad- 
dressed to  Alderman  John  '  A. 
Richert,  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Finance,  wherein  the  fol- 
lowing additional  items  of  revenue 
were  submitted  to  the  Finance 
Committee  for  their  consideration 
as  being  proper  additional  revenue 
to  meet  over-appropriations  made 
by  the  Council. 

Under  the  law  passed  at  a  spe- 
cial session  of  the  Forty-ninth 
General  Assembly,  the  City  Coun- 
cilhas  the  power  to  pass  additional 
or  supplemental  appropriations  any 
time  within  the  first  six  months  of 
the  current  fiscal  year.  At  the  next 
regular  meeting  of  the  Council  I 
shall,  therefore,  submit  to  the 
Council  recommendations  upon  this 
subject,  which  I  shall  ask  to  have 
referred  to  the  Committee  on  Fi- 
nance. 

Yours  respectfully, 
(Signed)     Wm.  Hale  Thompson, 

Mayor,

day, I  desire  to  make  the  following  suggestions  to  your  Committee,  whereby  \ 
the  necessary  revenue  to  meet  the  over-appropriations  of  the  Council  last  j 
Monday  may  be  provided :

Under  the  wording  of  the  Bathing  Beach  and  Play-

It  appears  from  the  City's  legal  repre- 
sentative in  this  case  that  there  will  be  ex- 
pended during  the  current  year  not  more 
than 16,000.00 

Leaving  a  salvage  of $150,000.00

the  increased  revenue  from  the  sale  of  old  material  for  the 

current  year  will  be  at  least. . ! $  50,000.00 

I  am  also  informed  that  the  attorneys  representing  the 
parties  in  interest  in  the  sub-sidewalk  space  matter  are 
willing  to  make  a  prompt  settlement  of  the  amount  due, 
if  the  matter  is  taken  up  with  them  by  your  Committee, 
before  whom  it  is  now  pending.  This  is  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of $lll,OOO.Ob

gard to  sundry  items  of  salvage  in  the  Police  and 
Fire  Departments  and  electrical  mechanics  at  the 
Garbage  Plant,  based  on  nine  months  service  in- 
stead of  one  year  as  appropriated  for  in  the 
Council  last  Monday,  there  will  be  a  further

Office  of  the  Mayor,] 
Chicago,  March  11,  1916.] 
To  the  Honor  able,  the  City  Council: 
Gentlemen — I  have  long  been  of 
the  opinion  that  there  is  inadequate 
recognition  in  the  way  of  advance- 
ment in  the  service  for  members 
of  the  Police  Department  who  per- 
form unusually  meritorious  acts. 
The  work  of  members  of  the  Police 
Department  in  the  recent  Washing- 
ton Park  Bank  robbery  case  has 
been  such  that  it  seems  to  me  some 
suitable  recognition  should  be  made 
of  it. 

I  have  the  honor  to  transmit 
herewith  a  communication  from  the 
State's  Attorney  in  reference  to  the 
subject.  I  believe  that  if  recogni- 
tion is  made  of  the  services  ren- 
dered by  the  members  of  the  de- 
partment who  had  part  in  this  case 
it  will  serve  as  an  incentive  to  every 
member  of  the  police  force,  and  I 
would  respectfully  recommend  the 
reference  of  Ihe  subject  to  an  ap- 
r)ropriate  committee  for  early  con- 
sideration and  report. 
Yours  respectfully,

Office  of  State's  Attorney,") 
Chicago,  March  6,  1916.] 

Eon.   Wm.  Bale   Thompson,  Mayor 
of  Chicago: 

Dear  Sir — The  successful  conclu- 
sion of  the  recent  prosecution  of  the 
bandits. who  robbed  the  Washington 
Park  National  Bank  must  afford  all 
officials  interested  in  the  suppres- 
sion of  crime,  and  law-abiding  citi- 
zens generally,  the  greatest  satisfac- 
tion.    The  result  is  gratifying,  not 
only  because  of  the  aggravated  cir- 
cumstances  of   the   crime   and  the 
desperate  character  of  the  offenders, 
but  also  because  of  the  speedy  de- 
termination of  the  case.     Particu- 
larly gratifying,  however,  is  the  ab- 
solute failure  of  the  unwarranted, 
unjust  and  vicious  attacks  upon  the 
police  officials  to  whose  services  the 
convictions  must  in  all  fairness  be 
credited.    From  time  to  time  it  has 
been  suggested  that  these  police  of- 
ficials should  receive  a  suitable  re- 
ward. In  my  opinion,  the  unmerited 
attacks    made    upon    them    consti- 
tute an  added   reason  for  granting 
them  some  suitable  recognition  of 
their  services,  and  it  is  on  that  ac- 
count  I    am   now   requesting   your 
favorable  consideration  of  the  mat- 
ter. 

Yours  very  truly,

of  the  Criminal  Court  of  Cook 
County,  having  completed  the  duties 
imposed  by  law  upon  it,  herewith

We,  the  February  'Grand  Jury, 
before  whom  have  been  brought 
many  evidences  of  crime  in  Cook

percentage  of  the  crimes  is  directly 
connected  with  the  vicious  saloons, 
cabarets,  pool  rooms,  and  dance 
halls,  and  we  wish  to  commend  the 
Mayor  of  Chicago  on  the  stand  he 
has  taken  toward  law  enforcement 
and  Sunday  closing,  and  wish  to 
recommend  that  he  revoke  the  li- 
censes of  all  vicious  saloons, 
cabarets,  pool  rooms  and  dance 
halls.  We  wish  especially  to  com- 
mend the  steps  taken  by  all  pub- 
lic officials  towards  the  curbing  of 
the  evils  connected  with  these  ele- 
ments  and   we   recommend   that   a 


copy  of  this  report  be  sent  to  th^

ton.  Wm.  Hale  Thompson,  Mayor,

Chicago: 

Gentlemen — The  quarters  of  En- 
ine  Company  No.  21,  located  at  No. 

West  Taylor  street,  are  in  such 
condition  as  being  unfit  to  house 
le  firemen  stationed  'there.  The 
3wers,  plaster,  floors,  woodwork,  in 
act  everything  in  and  about  the 
lace  is  in  a  very  unsanitary  con- 
ition.  Nothing  has  been  done  with 
lese  quarters  for  a  number  of 
ears  owing  to  the  fact  that  we  ex- 
acted the  railroad  company  to  take 
ver  the  present  site. 
A  new  building  has  been  provided 
)r  in  the  last  bond  issue  for  new 
re  stations,  amount  $25,000.00,  and 
am  informed  now  tbat  the  railroad 
Dmpany  will  not  want  this  property 
)r  a  number  of  years.  It  is  esti- 
lated  that  the  present  building  can 
3  remodeled  at  a  cost  not  to  exceed 
5,000.00,  which  amount  will  put  it 
I  good  shape  for  a  number  of  years 

come.  Therefore,  I  would  re- 
)ectfully  request  that  an  order  be 
assed  by  the  City  Council  authoriz- 
Lg  the  expenditure  of  $5,000.00 
'om  the  amount  allowed  in  the 
;3nd  issue  for  labor  and  material  so 
lat  the  building  can  be  put  in 
•  roper  shape  by  the  construction 
:>rce  of  this  department  at  the

IN    THE   matter  OF  INVESTIGATION   OF 

FINANCIAL  RECORDS  OF  THE 

BOARD   OF    EDUCATION. 

Chicago,  March  9,  1916. 

Hon.  Robert  ill.  Buck,  Chairman, 
Sub-committee  of  Schools,  Fire, 
Police  and  Civil  Service  Com- 
mittee of  City  Council  of  the  City 
of  Chicago: 

Dear  Sir — Pursuant  to  authoriza- 
tion of  the  City  'Council,  by  its  or- 
der of  July  12,  1915,  mandamus 
proceedings  were  commenced 
against  the  Board  of  Education  in 
the  Circuit  Court  of  Cook  County 
on  September  3,  1915,  to  compel  the 
Board  of  Education  to  give  access 
to  the  City  Council  to  its  books, 
records,  documents  and  information 
concerning  the  b^eceipt  and  expendi- 
ture of  moneys.  A  demurrer  to  the 
petition  for  mandamus  was  filed  by 
the  Board   of  Education   and  after 


arguments  before  Judge  Walker  the 
demurrer  was  sustained  and  an  or- 
der entered"  dismissing  the  petition. 
There  being  some  doubt  as  to 
whether  appeal  should  be  taken  to 
the  Supreme  Court  or  to  the  Appel- 
late Court  your  counsel  decided  to 
appeal  to  the  Supreme  Court  in  the 
hope  of  obtaining  an  early  decision. 
When  this  case  was  called  for  argu- 
ment in  the  Supreme  Court,  at  the 
December  Term,  1915,  the  court  de- 
cided, after  a  brief  consideration, 
that  the  case  should  be  transferred 
to  the  Appellate  Court. 

Upon  the  transfer  of  the  cause  to 
the  Appellate  Court  counsel  for  the 
City  Council  made  a  motion  that  the 
case  should  be  taken  at  once  by  the 
court  upon  the  briefs  and  abstract 
of  record  as  filed  in  the  Supreme 
Court  and  as  the  Appellate  Court 
was  well  up  with  its  work  the 
cause  was  so  taken. 

On  March  7,  1916,  the  Appellate 
Court  handed  down  an  opinion 
completely  sustaining  the  power  of 
the  City  Council  to  investigate  the 
records  of  the  Board  of  Education. 
It  is  particularly  important  to  note 
that  the  decision  of  the  court  was 
based  upon  the  reasoning  that  the 
power  to  investigate  the  receipts 
and  expenditures  of  money  inhered 
in  the  mutual  relations  of  the  par- 
ties and  was  necessary  to  the  in- 
telligent exercise  of  the  Council's 
powers  of  appropriation  and  must 
be  sustained  unless  prohibited  by 
statute.  For  your  information  a 
copy  of  the  opinion  of  the  Appellate 
Court  is  attached  hereto. 

Counsel  has  not  been  advised  to 
date  of  what  steps  are  contemplated 
by  the  Board  of  Education  to  ob- 
tain a  review  of  the  decision  of  the 
Appellate  Court  by  the  Supreme 
Court.  But,  inasmuch  as  the  Su- 
preme Court  has  already  held  that 
it  should  not  take  jurisdiction  of 
a  direct  appeal  in  this  cause,  there 
is  no  absolute  right  of  appeal  in  the 
.  Board  of  Education,  but  a  further

People  of  the  State  of  Illinois  upon 
the  relation  of  the  City  Council 
of  the  City  of  Chicago,  Appellant, 
vs.  Board  of  Education  of  the 
City  of  Chicago,  Appellee — Appeal 
from  Circuit  Court,  Cook  County. 

Mr.  Presiding  Justice  McSurely 
delivered  the  opinion  of  the  court. 

Upon  relation  of  the  City  Council 
of  the  City  of  Chicago  a  petition  for 
mandamus  was  filed,  praying  that 
the  Board  of  Education  of  Chicago 
be  commanded  to  give  to  the  City 
Council  full  and  complete  access  to 
all  books,  records,  documents  and 
information  concerning  the  receipt 
and  expenditure  of  moneys  in  pos- 
session of  the  Board.  To  this  a 
general  demurrer  was  filed  and  sub- 
sequently sustained  and  the  petition 
ordered  dismissed.  Petitioners 
elected  to  stand  by  their  petition, 
and  by  this  appeal  seek  the  reversal 
of  the  order  of  the  court. 

Is  the  City  Council  empowered  by 
law  to  examine  the  records  of  re- 
ceipts and  expenditures  of  the 
money  of  the  Board  of  Education? 
We  hold  that  it  is. 

Under  the  special  charter  of  Chi- 
cago, year  1863,  the  Council  was 
given  power  (quoting  from  People 
V.  Healey,  231  111.  629,  635)  "to 
manage  the  school  funds,  school 
houses  and  school  matters  gen- 
erally, and  the  Board  of  Education 
only  had  control  subject  to  the  regu- 
lations prescribed  by  the  common 
council."  Under  section  2,  chapter 
9,  of  the  special  charter  the  Council 
was  given  power  to  levy  and  collect 
a  school  tax,  and  \mder  the  constitu- 
tion adopted  in  1870  the  Council 
was  given  power  to  appropriate 
moneys  for  school  purposes.  In 
1872  the  legislature  passed  an  act 


entitled  "An  Act  to  establish  and 
maintain  a  system  of  free  schools," 
approved  April  1,  1872.  In  1875 
the  City  of  Chicago  became  incor- 
porated under  the  general  law  for 
the  incorporation  of  cities  and  vil- 
lages, and  it  was  held  in  Brenan  v. 
People,  176  111.  620,  that  the  special 
charter  thereby  became  no  longer  in 
force,  except  so  much  of  it  as  was 
not  inconsistent  with  the  general 
law.  The  Cities  and  Villages  Act 
contains  no  provisions  relating  to 
schools;  hence  the  provisions  of  the 
special  charter  relating  to  schools 
were  not  abrogated,  and  the  divis- 
ion of  powers  between  the  City 
Council  and  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion was  to  be  determined  under 
the  provisions  of  the  special  charter 
and  of  the  School  Act  of  1872.  In 
People  ex  rel.  v.  Roche,  124  111.  9, 
the  Supreme  Court  stated  this  di- 
vision of  powers  as  follows : 

"It  seems  clear,  from  all  the 
legislation  on  the  subject,  it  was 
the  intention  of  the  legislature 
the  city,  in  cities  having  over  one 
hundred  thousand  inhabitants, 
should  have  the  title  to  all  real 
estate  held  for  school  purposes, 
and  the  city  treasurer  should 
have  the  custody  of  all  school 
funds,  no  matter  from  what 
source  derived.  The  Board  of 
Education  in  such  citiies  is  given 
no  independent  powers  as  to  the 
real  estate  held  or  to  be  pur- 
chased for  school  purposes. 
Whatever  the  board  can  do  in  ref- 
erence to  buying  or  leasing  sites 
for  school  houses,  or  issuing 
bonds  for  the  erection  of  build- 
ings thereon,  can  only  be  done 
'with  the  concurrence  of  the  City 
Council.'  The  powers  and  duties, 
the  board  may  exercise,  inde- 
pendently of  the  City  Council,  re- 
late mostly  to  furnishing  school 
houses,  the  employing  of  teach- 
ers, and  the  management  of 
schools  generally.  But  all  school 
property  and  funds  are  placed  in 
and  under  the  care  of  the  City 
Council  or  some  city  officer."

This  division  of  powers  was  not 
changed  by  the  passage  of  the 
School  Act  of  1889.  Brenan  v.  Peo- 
ple, 176  III.  620. 

In  1909  the  legislature  passed  an 
act    entitled    "An   Act   to    establish 
and    maintain    a    system    of    free 
schools,"    approved    and    in    force 
June    12,    1909,    111.    Stat.,    Kurd's 
chap.  122,  which  is  the  statute  now 
in   force.      This    act   did   not   sub- 
stantially    change     the     respective 
powers  of  the  City  Council  and  of 
the   Board   of  Education   from   the 
status   fixed  by  the  prior  statutes. 
Sections    128    to    150,    inclusive,   of 
the  present  statute  provide  for  the 
organization  and  regulation  of  the 
"boards    of    education    in   cities   of 
100,000,"  and  these  provisions  ap- 
ply to  the  Board  of  Education  of 
Chicago.    Under  the  present  statute 
the  Board  is   given  exclusive   con- 
trol   of    the    management    of    the 
schools  with  reference  to  providing 
furniture  for  school  buildings,  hir- 
ing rooms  for  use  of  the  Board  or 
schools,  employing  teachers  and  fix- 
ing compensation,  prescribing  school 
books,  establishing  rules  for  govern- 
ment,    and    other    similar    details 
stated    in    some   24    paragraphs    in 
section  132  of  the  statute.    With  the 
concurrence  of  the  City  Council  the 
Board   has   power    (1)    to   erect  or 
purchase      buildings      for      school 
houses  and  to  keep  them  in  repair; 
(2)   to  buy  or  lease  school  houses 
with  grounds,  or  condemn  land  for 
the  same  "in  the  name  of  the  city 
in  trust  for  the  use  of  schools";  (3) 
to  borrow  money  upon  the  credit  of 
the  city.     The  statute  also  provides 
that  the  city  shall  take  title  to  all 
real   estate,    and   no   sale   shall   be 
made   except  by   the   City    Council 
upon  written  request  of  the  Board; 
that  all  moneys  raised  by  taxation 
"shall  be  held  by  the  City  Treasurer 
as  a  special  fund  for  school  pur- 
poses,  subject  to  the  order  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  upon  warrants 
to  be  countersigned  by  the  Mayor 

I  and    the    City    Comptroller    or,    if 
there   be   no   City   Comptroller,   by 


the  City  Clerk."  The  statute  in 
terms  specifically  negatives  any 
implication  that  the  Board  has  au- 
thority to  levy  or  collect  taxes,  this 
power  remaining  in  the  City  Coun- 
cil under  the  special  charter.  It  is 
made  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  re- 
port to  the  City  Council,  from  time 
to  time,  any  suggestions  they  may 
deem  expedient  or  requisite  in  re- 
lation to  the  schools  and  the  school 
fund,  or  the  management  thereof, 
and  generally  to  recommend  the 
establishment  of  new  schools  and 
districts;  to  prepare  and  publish  an 
annual  report,  which  shall  include 
the  receipts  and  expenditures  of 
each  school,  specifying  the  source 
of  such  receipts  and  the  object  of 
such  expenditures;  "to  communi- 
cate to  the  City  Council,  frbm  time 
to  time,  such  information  as  may 
be  required."  It  is  also  provided 
that  "no  power  given  to  the  Board 
of  Education  shall  be  exercised  by 
the  City  Council  of  such  cities." 

Upon  the  City  Council  is  laid  not 
only  the  duty  of  furnishing  funds 
for  school  purposes,  but  also  the 
duty  of  control  of  expenditures  in 
a  large  measure.  It  is  self-evident 
that  such  a  duty  cannot  l)e  per- 
formed with  intelligence  and  judg- 
ment unless  the  Council  is  fully 
and  accurately  informed  as  to  the 
requirements  for  school  purposes. 
This  necessarily  involved  knowledge 
of  the  receipts  and  expenditures, 
and  the  right  to  obtain  this  know- 
ledge through  examination  of  the 
records  of  the  Board  inheres  in  the 
mutual  relations  of  the  parties  and 
must  be  upheld  unless  the  statute 
has  clearly  closed  this  avenue  of 
information. 

Does  the  statute,  in  terms  or  by 
implication,  forbid  the  City  Council 
to  obtain  the  needed  information  by 
first-hand  examination  of  the  rec- 
ords? There  is  nothing  in  the 
general  scheme  of  the  statutory  pro- 
visions to  indicate  that  this  is  so. 
Rather  the  requirement  of  concur- 
rence by  the  Council  in  financial 
matters   indicates   to   the   contrary.

NEW  BUSINESS — BY  WARDS. 


March  11,  1916. 


Neither  do  we  think  the  duty  of  the 
Board  to  communicate  to  the  City 
Council  such  information  as  may  be 
required  negatives  the  right  of  the 
Council  to  examine  the  hasis  of  the 
communication.  The  ohligation  to 
convey  information  to  the  Council 
when  requested,  is  a  rule  of  con- 
venience and  necessity  in  the  trans- 
action of  their  concurrent  business. 
It  serves  a  reasonable  and  proper 
purpose,  but  it  would  require  a 
strained  construction  to  give  this 
rule  of  convenience  the  force  of  an 
inhibition  of  the  inherent  right  of 
the  Council  to  have  access  to  the 
original  sources  of  information. 

Our  conclusion  is  that  under  its 
special  charter  the  City  Council  has 
complete  control  of  the  schools  ex- 
cept as  specifically  modified  by  the 
statute;  that  the  statute,  while  giv- 
ing to  the  Board  exclusive  right  of 
management  of  many  details  of  the 
schools,  has  not  taken  from  the 
Council  the  right  to  examine  its 
records  of  receipts  and  expendi- 
tures; that  the  animus  or  motive  of 
the  Council  in  seeking  to  make  such 
examination  cannot  affect  its  right 
(Murphy  v.  C.  R.  I.  &  P.  Ry.  Co.,  247 
111.  614) ;  that  the  Council  is  not 
required  to  consider  a  communica- 
tion from  the  Board  as  its  sole  and 
ultimate  source  of  information.  It 
is  not  important  whether  the  field 
of  the  CounciFs  financial  action  be 
small  or  large;  whatever  it  is,  the 
intelligent  exercise  of  the  Council's 
powers  will  be  promoted  by  know- 
ledge even  of  those  details  over 
which  it  has  no  direct  control. 

We  hold  that  it  was  error  to  sus- 
tain the  demurrer,  and  the  order 
dismissing  the  petition  is  reversed 
and  the  cause  remanded  with  direc- 
tions to  overrule  the  demurrer  and 
for  further  proceedings  not  incon- 
sistent with  what  is  herein  ex- 
pressed.

years  1916  and  1917  and  providing 
a  plan  for  the  creation  and  selec- 
tion of  the  standing  committees  of 
the  City  Council,  through  a  Com- 
mittee on  Committees,  or  otherwise. 
(Signed)  David  R.  Higkey, 
M.  A.  Mighaelson, 

VlNGENT  S.  ZWIEFKA, 

James  Rea. 
Dated  at  Chicago  this  22nd  day 
of  March,  A.  D.  1916. 

Aid.  Michaels'on  presented  'the 
following  resolution : 

The  Statutes  of  the  State  of  Illi- 
nois, Section!  35,  Chapter  24,  of  the 
Cities  and  Villages  Act,  Kurd's  Re- 
vised Statutes  of  1913,  provide  that 
the  City  Council  "shall  determine 
its  own  rules  of  p'ro'ceeding."  The 
City  Council  of  the  City  of  Chicago, 
as  a  legislative  body,  is  governed  by 
the  well-known  rules  of  parliia- 
mentary  practice,  similar  to  those 
that  govern  other  legislative  bodies, 
and  therefore  has  the  power  to 
select,  and  should  select,  its  stand- 
ing committees'  to  perform  such 
duties  and  functions  as  may  be  re- 
quired of  such  committees. 

In  an  article  published  in  The 
Chicago  Daily  News,  February  8, 
1916,  purporting  to  be  a  report  of 
a  league  known  as  The  Municipal 
Voters'  League,  it  was  .  therein 
stated : 

"The    forces    arrayed     against 
Council  government  have  gone  on 
the  theory  that  the  Council  is  a 
rubber  stamp  for  the  use  of  the 
city    administration.      But   those 
people  of  Chicago  who,  by  inde- 
pendent voting,   have  placed  in- 
telligent and  independent  men  in 
the   City   Council    will   refuse   to 
see  their  work  wasted." 
In  another  paragraph  of  'the  same 
report,  appearing  on  the  same  day. 
The  Chicago  Daily  News  published 
the  following  statement: 

"During  the  last  year  a  new 
is-sue,  vital  to  the  govornment  of 
Chicago,  has  arisen.    Tlie  right  of 


the    Council   to   exercise   powers 
essential  to  the  performance  of  its 
part  in  the  city  government  has 
been  challenged  and  thwarted  by 
the  executive  department." 
Again,  in  an  editorial  appearing 
in  The  Chicago  Herald,  of  Febru- 
ary 26,   1916,   the  following  state- 
ment was  published : 

"It  may  best  be  described  as  a 
campaign  with  only  one  issue,  and 
that  an  issue  which  should  never 
have  been  made.     That  issue,  as 
set  forth  by  The  Municipal  Vot- 
ers' League,  is  whether  the  ald- 
ermen are  to  be   independent  of 
executive  dictation  or  in  deadly 
fear  of  being  driven  from  office 
by  executive  displeasure." 
In   a   statement   signed   by    nine 
aldermen,   whose  names   appear  in 
The  Chicago  Tribune  of ,  February 
28,  1916,  'the  following  paragraph  is 
a  part  of  such  statement,  and  was 
published  in  the  newspapers  of  the 
City  of  Chicago: 

"This  is  a  fight  to  maintain  a 
free    representative    body    from 
domination  by  a  weak  mayor  in  i 
the  grip  of  a  powerful  and  un- 
scrupulous boss.     This  is  a  fight  i 
to    determine  whether    Chicago's 
Council  shall  be  made  up  of  'gray 
wolves'  and  puppets  of  a  puppet 
mayor  or  of  honest  and  independ- 
ent men,  selected  by  and  respont- 
sible  only  to  the  voters  of  their  . 
wards." 

This  statement  was  signed  by  the 
following  aldermen:  Nathaniel  A. 
Stern,  Willis  0.  Nance,  John  N. 
Kimball,  Frank  H.  Ray,  John  Ivj el- 
lander,  Frank  J.  Link,  George  Pret- 
zel, Oliver  L.  Watson,  M.  J.  Demp- 
sey. 

It  is  the  popular  opinion  and  is 
the  law  that  the  City  Council  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  should  be  a  Council 
governed  body,  not  hampered  by 
any  outiside  inlluence  of  non-mem- 
bers of  the  City  Council,  or  in- 
lluences  of  any  kind,  which  will  in 
any  way  interfere  with  the  control 
of  the  Council.

It  has  been  heretofore  the  cus- 
tom of  a  certain  voluntary  organi- 
zation, The  Municipal  Voters' 
League,  without  authority  of  law, 
and  in  violation  thereof,  to  appoint 
or  cause  to  be  appointed,  certain 
members  of  the  City  Council  as  a 
Committee  on  Committees,  for  the 
purpose  of  selecting  various  stand- 
ing committees  of  the  City  Council. 
The  methods  employed  by  this 
voluntary,  illegal  organization  were 
such  as  to  instill  into  the  minds  of 
the  aldermen  fear  of  political  an- 
nihilation unless  the  dictates  of  this 
voluntary  organization  were  obeyed. 

It  is  pertinent  to  inquire  "whether 
the  aldermen  are  to  be  independent" 
of  outside  imterference  and  dicta- 
tion "or  in  deadly  fear  of  being 
driven  from  office  by  the  displeas- 
ure" of  the  Municipal  Voters' 
League. 

Each  member  of  the  City  Council 
is  elected  by  his  constituents  to 
represent  them  in  the  City  Council. 
One  of  the  most  important  func- 
tions is  for  each  alderman  to  par- 
ticipate freely  in  the  creation  of 
committees  which  shall  perform  the 
proper  committee  work  of  the  City 
Council,  as  a  great  deal  of  the  most 
imtportant  work  of  the  Council  is 
necessarily  performed  in  commit- 
itees.  It  is  unjust,  outrageous,  and 
unjustifiable  for  any  alderman  or 
aldermen  to  be  denied  equal  right 
land  opportunity  with  every  other 
alderman  to  participate,  from  the 
;very  inception,  in  the  creation  of 
any  Committee  on  Committees,  or 
in  the  selection  of  members  of 
standing  committees  of  the  City 
Council.  The  day  for  back  room 
methods  and  secret  caucuses  in  a 
City  Council,  or  any  other  legally 
elected  body,  we  believe  is  gone, 
never  to  return  in  this  community. 
The  people  of  this  city  have  a  right 
to  know  that  every  alderman  elected 
by  them  will  be  ipermitted  to  help 
to  organize  the  Council  and  create 
committees,  and  this  work  should 
be  done  in  the  open,  in  the  Council 
phamber,    where   the    people    may 


know  what  is  going  on,  and  the 
people  should  be  perinitted  to  at- 
tend, if  they  desire,  the  meeting 
at  which  this  work  is  performed. 
To  hold  meetings  or  caucuses  in  the 
manner  as  has  been  heretofore  done 
by  this  illegal,  voluntary  organiza- 
tion, known  as  The  Municipal  Vot- 
ers' League,  in  what  has  heretofore 
been  termed,  by  the  League  and 
several  of  the  newsipapers  of  this 
city,  "back  rooms"  and  "kitchen 
cabinets",  is  a  bold  disfranchise- 
ment of  the  rights  and  privileges  of 
the  taxpayers.  Such  a  condition  is 
subversive  of  good  government,  and 
denies  the  right  to  the  people  who 
elect  the  respective  aldermen  to  a 
voice  in  the  selection  of  this  com- 
mittee. 

It  is  highly  important  that  the 
organization  of  the  Council  be  per- 
fected on  strictly  non-partisan 
lines.  A  non-partisan  organization 
of  the  Council  can  be  best  obtained 
by  permitting  all  aldermen,  regard- 
less of  political  affiliations,  to  take 
part  in  the  selection  and  creation  of 
the  committees  of  the  City  Council 
on  a  non-partisan  basis,  in  accord- 
ance with  the  law. 

It  is  therefore  proper  that  all  of 
the  aldermen  attend  a  meeting  oi 
the  City  Council,  to  be  held  in  the 
Council  Chamber,  for  the  purpose 
of  taking  proper  and  legal  steps 
themselves,  without  the  interfe'r- 
ence  of  non-members  of  the  Coun- 
cil, to  arrange  for  the  selection  of 
a  Committee  on  Committees,  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  law,  or  to  take 
such  other  course  las  may  be  legally 
proper  to  arrange  for  the  selection 
of  committees  of  the  next  City 
Council  of  the  City  of  Chicago, 
along  non-parftisam  lines;  therefore, 
be  it 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of 
the  City  Council  that  the  said  City 
Council  convene  for  the  purpose  of 
organizing  a  Committee  on  Com- 
mittees, which  committee  shall 
select  the  standing  committees  of 
the  City  Council  for  the  years  1916

and  1917;  that  said  Committee  on 
Committees  he  selected,  three  from 
each  of  the  Democratic  and  Repub- 
lican parties.  Two  members  there- 
of, one  Republican  and  one  Demo- 
crat, shall  be  selected  from  each 
geographical  division  of  said  city, 
namely,  west,  south  and  north  sec- 
tions of  the  city;  and  be  it  further 

Resolved,  That  the  action  of  the

To  the  Honorable,  the  City  Council 

of  the  City  of  Chicago: 

Gentlemen^I  have  the  honor  to 
transmit  herewith  correspondence 
from  the  Commissioner  of  Gas  and 
Electricity,  with  .  reference  to  the 
annual  appropriation  for  that  de- 
partment, especially  in  reference  to 
the  appropriation  for  cable  splicers 
and  arc  lamp  rtrimmers. 

These  employes,  all  members  of 
a  labor  organization,  work  under  an 
agreement  between  the  City  of 
Chicago  and  the  Union,  entered  into 
by  the  Fimance  Committee  which 
they  claim  has  been  violated. 

I  am  of  the  opinion  that  if  an 
agreement  has  been  entered  into, 
the  appropriation  bill  should  not 
make  it  impossible  for  the  city  to 
carry  out  the  terms  of  the  agree- 
ment. For  that  reason,  I  am  trans- 
mitting correspondence  attached 
tierewith,  to  your  Honorable  Body,

City  Council  all  applications  of 
railroad  companies  for  permission 
to  erect  permanent  building,  except 
as  now  provided  for  by  special  or-

such  permission  is  granted  the  City 
can  determine  whether  the  erection 
of  such  buildings  will  interfere 
with  plans  of  the  City  in  the  matter 
of  regulating  railroad  terminal  de- 
velopment in  the  City  of  Chicago.

ing with  the  resulting  change  of 
occupation  of  the  surrounding 
property  might  seriously  interfere 
with  the  plans  of  the  Chicago  Rail- 
way Terminal  Commission  for

Whereas,  The  said  Baltimore  & 
Ohio  Chicago  Terminal  Railroad 
Company  recently  accepted  an  ordi-

valid;  and

Respectfully  submitted,

Chairman, 


The  following  is  the  communica- 
tion recommended   for   publication 
in  the  foregoing  report: 
The  Baltimore  &  Ohio  Chicago,] 
Terminal  Railroad  Company,   j- 
Chicago,  March  20,  1916.J 

Alderman   Ellis    Geiger,    Chairman, 
Committee  on  Railway  Terminals, 
City  Hall,  Chicago: 
Dear  Sir— I   have  given   consid- 
eration to  the  questions  rising  out 
of  the  location  of  the  new  freight 
bouse  of  the  Baltimore  &  Ohio  Chi- 
cago   Terminal    Railroad    at    about 
the    proposed   extension   of   Four- 
teenth street  and  Fifth  avenue. 

I  beg  to  assure  you  that  this 
building  was  located  at  this  point 
without  any  intention  whatever  ol 
interfering  with  the  plans  for 
straightening  the  river  and  extend- 
ing the  north  and  south  streets  such 
as  Fifth  avenue  and  Franklin  street. 
Indeed,  it  was  located  under  the  im- 
pression that  it  would  conform  to 
the  proposed  extension  of  Filth 
avenue  and  not  interfere  with  that 
extension. 

I  regret  to  find  that  we  have  not 
quite  fully  considered  the  plans 
presented  by  the  Chicago  Railway 
Terminal  Commission  in  its  report 
and  had  not  understood  that  the  lo- 
cation of  the  building  might  inter- 
fere with  the  direct  extension  ot 
Fifth  avenue  if  some  of  these  al- 
ternative plans  of  the  Commission 
should  be  adopted. 

I  did  note,  however,  that  one  of 

the  plans  of  the  Commission  would 

.  locate  the  street   so    the    building 


L

REPORTS    OF    COMMITTEES.

would   not   interfere   with   its    ex- 
tension. 

The  Baltimore  &  Ohio  Chicago 
Terminal  Railroad  Company  has  in- 
tended, and  it  does  intend,  to  carry 
out  in  good  faith  its  obligation  to 
co-operate  with  the  city  in  the 
straightening  of  the  river  and  ex- 
tension of  the  streets;  and,  if  the 
plan  for  extending  Fifth  avenue 
which  is  finally  decided  upon  by  the 
city  should  locate  this  street  over 
the  property  now  occupied  by  this 
freight  station,  the  railroad  com- 
pany will  at  its  own  expense,  re- 
move or  modif/  the  building  so  as 
to  conform  to  these  plans  for  the 
street  extension. 

I  reserve,  however,  the  right  to 
urge  on  the  Committee  such  a  loca- 
tion of  the  street  and  such  plans  in 
its  extension  as  will  not  interfere 
with  the  building  or  will  make  any 
necessary  modifications  of  it  as 
slight  as  possible. 

Trusting  that    this    will    remove 
the  objections    of  your   Committee 
and  confirm  your  confidence  in  our 
hearty  co-operation,  I  am 
Yours  very  truly,

THIRTY-FIRST  WARD. 

Aid.  Bergen  presented  the  fol- 
lowing order,  which  was,  on  motion, 
duly  passed: 

Whereas,  The  people  of  the 
City  of  Chicago  liave  been  en- 
deavoring, with  little  or  no  suc- 
cess, for  twenty  or  more  years  to 
abate  the  nuisance  of  air  pollu- 
tion caused  by  the  smoke,  soot 
and  noxious  gases  emitted  from 
the  stacks  of  stationary  boilers 
and  locomotives  in  this  city;  and 
Whereas,  A  Smoke  Depart- 
ment was  created  by  an  oramancc 
passed  by  the  City  Council  July 
8,  1907,  under  the  direction  of 
which  department  some  progress 
has  been  made  in  smoke  abate- 
ment but  not  enough  to  compen- 
sate the  city  for  the  expense  in- 
curred in  maintaining  saia  ae- 
partment;  and 

Whereas,  Five  or  six  years 
ago  an  agitation  for*  smoke  abate- 
ment and  electrification  resulted 
in  the  creation  of  a  Commission 
of   experts   of   world-wide   repu-

tation  to  make  a  scientifio  survey 
of  air  pollution  resulting  from 
the  operation  of  stationary  boil- 
ers and  locomotives,  with  a  view 
to  recommending  remedial  meas- 
ures; and 

Whereas,  On  December  |1, 
1915,  said  Commission  submitted 
a  comprehensive  report;  stating 
in  substance  that  electrification 
of  locomotives  is  practical  but 
not  financially  feasible  in  the  City 
'of  Chicago;  and 

WHEREAS,  The  said  report,  the 
making  of  which  covered  a  num- 
ber of  years  and  is  said  to  have 
cost  in  the  neighborhood  of 
$600,000,  did  not  contain  any 
recommendations  for  abating  the 
smoke  nuisance;  and 

Whereas,  My  attention  has 
been  called  by  a  citizen  of  my 
ward  to  a  device  that  is  being 
used  on  locomotives  owned  and 
operated  by  the  Chicago  Junction 
Railway  Company,  which  device, 
it  is  claimed,  not  only  does  away 
with  dense  smoke  but  soot,  cin- 
ders and  noxious  gases ;  and 

whereas,  If  such  a  device  is  in 
existence,  I  deem  it  my  duty  as  a 
citizen  and  an  Alderman  to  cal 
the  attention  of  the  City  Council 
to  said  device  for  the  purpose  of 
having  its  operation  studied  with 
a  view  to  its  use  in  protecting 
the  health  and  comfort  of  our 
citizens  by  abating  the  smoke 
nuisance;  therefore,  be  it 

Ordered,  That  the  Smoke  In- 
spector be  and  he  hereby  is  di- 
rected to  cause  an  investigation 
to  be  made  of  the  operation  of 
the  device  above  referred  to,  and 
report  his  findings  and  recom- 
mendations to  this  Council  at  as 
early  a  date  as  possible.

To    the   Honorable,   the  Mayor   and

Boy  Job  Day:     Proclamation. 

ALSO, 

The  folowiiig  proclamation,  which 
was  ordered  pijiced  on  file: 

Office  of  the  Mayor| 
Chicago,  March  24,  1916.J 
I,  William  Hale  Thompson,  Mayor 


of  the  City  of  Chicago,  do  hereby  set 
aside  and  proclaim  the  day  of  April 
8,  1916,  to  be  known  as  Boy  Job  Day. 
Because  of  my  knowledge  that  there 
are  thousands  of  boys  in  our  city 
eligible  by  law  to  hold  positions  who 
cire  at  the  present  time  out  of  em- 
ployment and  who  are  suffering  be- 
cause of  this  fact,  I  feel  that  I  would 
not  be  performing  my  full  duty  if 
I  did  not  pall  the  attention  of  the 
citizens  of  Chicago  to  the  urgent 
need  of  their  co-operation  with  jne 
and  those  interested  in  seeing  that 
every  boy  be  given  a  chance  of  mak- 
ing an  honest  living,  in  order  that 
he  may  develop  into  a  vigorous, 
healthy  and  honoraible  citizen. 

Because  of  my  profound  concern 
in  the  welfare,  physical  development 
and  happiness  of  all  the  boys  in  this 
city,  I  earnestly  request  that  all  em- 
ployers take  upon  themselves  the 
responsibility  of  giving  or  securing 
on  this  day  jobs  for  boys  in  need  of 
employment.  The  date  of  April  8 
has  been  chosen  by  me  as  Boy  Job 
Day  at  the  request  of  the  Boys' 
Brotherhood  Republic.  This  organi- 
zation of  boys,  in  my  opinion,  will 
be  a  large  factor  in  bringing  about 
a  solution  of  the  boy  problem  in  our 
city. 

The  headquarters  of  the  Boys' 
Brotherhood  Republic  during  this 
time  will  be  1818  Republic  Building.

Office  of  the  Mayor,] 
Chicago,  March  30,  1916.  f 

Whereas,  It  is  provided  in  Sec- 
tion 79,  Chapter  46,  of  the  Revised 
Statutes  of  the  State  of  .  Illinois : 
"No  spirituous,  malt,  vinous  or  in- 
toxicating liquors  shall  be  sold  or 
given  away  at  retail,  nor  shall  any 
saloon  or  bar-room  or  place  where 
such  liquor  is  so  sold  or  given 
away,  be  open  upon  any  general  or 
special  election  day  within  one  mile 
of  the  place  holding  the  election;" 

Therefore,  I,  Wm.  Hale  Thomp- 
son, Mayor  of  the  City  of  Chicago, 
hereby  direct  that,  in  compliance 
with  said  law,  all  saloons,  dram- 
shops or  other  place  where  liquor 
is  sold  or  given  away  within  the 
corporate  limits  of  the  City  of 
Chicago  be  closed  and  remain 
closed,  on  Tuesday,  April  4,  1916, 
between  the  hours  of  6  o'clock  A.  M. 
and  4  o'clock  P.  M. 

All  departments  of  the  city  gov-

fourth  day  of  April,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  Police,  Fire,  Health

placed  on  file : 

3161  Cambridge  Avenue,] 
Chicago,  March  27,  1916.  f 
To  the  Honorable  City  Council,  City 
of  Chicago: 
Gentlemen — I     am     taking     the 


liberty  of  addressing  you  in  regard 
to  matters  pertaining  to  the  Da- 
partment  of  Public  Service,  Bureau 
of  Electricity.    , 

I  would  respectfully  call  your 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  posi- 
tion of  Electrical  Supervisor  is  a 
Civil  Service  position. 

This  position  is  held  by  Mr.  Fred 
W.  Abele,  who  has  held  the  position 
since  July  1,  1915,  under  temporary 
appointment. 

Mr.  Abele  has  for  the  last  twenty 
years  held  positions  as  salesman 
and  clerical  work. 

The  ordinance  provides  that  the 
records  of  this  office  shall  be  open 
at  all  time  for  inspection  by  any 
citizen.  I  have  on  two  occasions 
been  denied  this  privilege.  As  near 
as  I  can  judge  there  were  about 
twenty  meter  tests  made  during  the 
month  of  January  for  which  a  fee 
of  fifty  cents  each  was  charged. 
The  pay  roll  for  this  bureau  is  over 
fifteen  hundred  dollars  per  month. 

I  am  informed  by  the  secretary  of 
the  Civil  Board  that  so  far  as  he 
knows  there  is  no  examination  for 
this  position  contemplated. 

Hoping  that  your  Honorable  Body 
may  find  some  method  to  bring 
about  the  filling  of  this  position 
legally  by  a  competent  and  ex- 
perienced person  to  the  end  that  the 
people  may  get  something  for  the 
money  recently  appropriated  for 
this   department,   I  beg  to   remain, 

Respectfully  yours, 
(Signed^  W.  L.  Saunders.

Chicago,  March  31,  1916.J 
To   the  Honorable,   the   Mayor   and 

the  City  Council  of   the   City   of 

Chicago: 

Gentlemen — I  transmit  herewith 
application  from  the  Northern 
Michigan  Transportation  Company 
for  the  use  of  four  hundred  (400) 
feet  of  dockage  on  the  south  side  of 
the  municipal  pier,  together  with 
the  adjoining  passenger  and  freight 
facilities.  Also  two  (2)  ordinances 
authorizing  and  directing  the  Har- 
bor Board  to  enter  into  an  agree- 
ment with  said  Company  upon  the 
terms  specified  therein,  for  a  period 
of  ten  (10)  years  from  May  1,  1916, 
the  application  having  been  con- 
sidered by  the  Harbor  Board  at  its 
meeting  held  on  the  29th  instant 
and  accepted  by  it,  subject  to  ap- 
proval by  your  Honorable  Body.  I 
suggest  that  the  same  be  referred  to 
the  Compensation  Committee  for 
consideration,  in  accordance  with 
the  provisions  of  the  ordinance 
creating  the  Harbor  Board. 

The  ordinances  provide  for  a 
rental  of  thirty  dollars  ($30.00)  per 
linear  foot  for  the  first  year;  forty 
dollars  ($40.00)  for  the  second  year 
and  fifty  dollars  ($50.00)  for  the 
remaining  eight  (8)  years.  Ac- 
cording to  figures  which  have  been 
compiled  by  the  Harbor  Board,  if 
the  entire  commercial  section  of  the 
pier  is  rented  at  the  rate  of  fifty 
dollars  ($50.00)  per  linear  foot,  the 
revenue  will  be  sufficient  to  bring  a 
return  of  four  (4)  per  cent  to  the 
City  on  the  amount  invested; 
amortize  the  cost  of  construction  in 
fifty-two  years  and  pay  the  expense 
of  maintenance  and  operation.  Be- 
cause of  the  failure  on  the  part  of 
the  United  States  government  to 
complete  full  break-water  protec- 
tion and  the  adjustment  of  business 
due  to  the  change  in  locality,  it  was 
felt  that  a  slight  concession  from 
this  price  for  the  first  two  years 
was  not  unreasonable. 

Owing    to    the    approach    of    the 


opening  of  navigation,  it  is  im- 
portant that  action  be  taken  upon 
the  matter  at  an  early  date  in  order 
that  the  lessee  may  have  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  the  necessary  ar- 
rangements for  occupation  by  that 
time. 

Yours  respectfully,

To    the  Honorable,    the  Mayor   and 

City  Council: 

Gentlemen — The  attached  com- 
munication from  the  secretary  of 
the  Board  of  Local  Improvements 
states  that  the  City  Council,  in  the 
1916  appropriation  bill,  allowed 
extra  machine  men  to  carry  on  the 
work  of  that  department.  In  order 
to  provide  quarters  for  the  addi- 
tional employees  changes  should  be 
made  in  the  offices  of  the  Board  on 
the  second  floor  of  the  City  Hall 
building.  The         accompanying 

sketch  indicates  the  work  necessary 
to  be  done  to  provide  the  accommo- 
dations, at  an  estimated  cost  of 
$1,000.00. 

The  Bureau  of  City  Hall  appro- 
priation does  not  permit  us  to  make 
this  expenditure,  nor  are  there 
funds  available  for  the  purpose; 
therefore,  the  matter  is  respectfully 
transmitted  to  your  honorable  body 
for  consideration  and  disposition. 

Yours  very  truly, 
(Signed)  W.  R.  Moorhouse, 

Commissioner  of  Public  Works. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Department  of  Law,] 
Chicago,  March  24,  1916.  f 

Hon.    James   A.   Kearns.    Chairman. 
Committee  on  Compensation: 

Dear  Sir — Replying  to  your  in- 
quiry of  today  as  to  the  advisability 
of  accepting  the  sum  of  four  thou- 
snnd  dollars  ($4,000.00)  from  the 
Beatrice  Creamery  Company  in  full 
settlement,  of  the  claims  of  the  City 
to  the  alley  adjoining  lots  ten  (10), 
eleven  (11),  twenty  (20).  twenty- 
one  (21)  and  the  south  thirty  (30) 
feet  of  lots  nine  (9)  and  twenty- 
two    (22)    in   Wilder's  South  Addi- 


tion to  Chicago  in  the  east  one-half 
(%),  fractional  northeast  quarter 
(1/4),  Section  twenty-one  (21) -39- 
14  in  Cook  County,  Illinois,  we  beg 
to  advise  you  that  the  extent  of 
such  rights  has  been  the  subject  of 
very  careful  consideration  in  this 
office  and  that  the  opinions  of 
various  assistants  have  not  been 
harmonious  upon  the  subject. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  lessors 
of  the  Beatrice  Creamery  Company 
have  been  in  undisputed  possession 
of  the  portion  of  the  alley  in  ques- 
tion for  a  period  of  over  twenty-  . 
five  years  and  their  possible  right 
to  vacate  the  same  under  Section  7 
of  the  Statute  on  Maps  and  Plats 
without  the  concurrence  of  the 
City,  we  feel  that  it  would  be  ad- 
visable to  accept  the  offer  of  four 
thousand  dollars  ($4,000.00)  now 
made  by  the  Beatrice  Creamery 
Company.  This  company  is  will- 
ing to  now  deposit  the  sum  of  four 
thousand  dollars  ($4,000.00)  with 
the  Comptroller  to  make  good  this 
offer,  pending  the  passage  of  an 
ordinance  vacating  the  alley  in 
question,  and  we  recommend  that 
this  be  done.

Gentlemen — I  return  herewith 
without  my  approval  an  order  au- 
thorizing the  use  of  city  water  for 
sprinkling  wagons  for  E.  P.  Buch-

Water  that  in  the  past  it  has  been 
customary  to  allow  the  use  of  water 
for  one  sprinkling  wagon  only  in 
consideration  of  similar  agreements 
for  sprinkling. 

Yours  respectfully,
